Anjali, Sachin’s Wife: I can be hundred per cent sure that Sachin will not play for a minute longer when he is not enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out there and play. He will play as long as he feels he can play. Anil Kumble: I am fortunate that I’ve to bowl at him only in the nets! A quote of Shahrukh Khan from one of his interviews: Question: Who do you think as most important celebrity? Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from Bollywood and cricket were invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh Bachchan. Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!! Shane Warne: I would go to bed having nightmares of Sachin dancing down the ground and hitting me for sixes. A.R.Rahman Well, I’m no Sachin Tendulkar you know, whenever he takes the field, people expect him to score a century before he loses his wicket. I can only give in my best and I always strive to live up to fans expectations, but it’s not possible to get an Oscar every time. Shahrukh Khan: Maybe the country doesnt pray for me like they do for Sachin Tendulkar, but I know Im on a good wicket as well. Sir Don Bradman: I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel! in reference to Sachin Tendulkar. Shane Warne: Sachin Tendulkar is, in my time, the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third. Viv Richards: He is 99.5% Perfect.. Ill pay to watch him play. I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball thats going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. Martina Navratilova: Sachin was so focused. He never looked like getting out. He was batting with single-minded devotion. It was truly remarkable.

Martin Crowe: The shot played on this ball is only possible for the GOD of cricket. Mathew Hayden: His life seems to be stillness in a frantic world... [When he goes out to bat], it is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man. The people see him as a God... Steve Waugh: After being defeated in the Coca-Cola Cup finals in Sharjah) It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don Michael Kasprowicz: Dont bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours. Wasim Akram: Today, he showed the world why he is considered the best batsman around. Some of the shots he played were simply amazing. Earlier, opposing teams used to feel that Sachins dismissal meant they could win the game. Today, I feel that the Indian players, too, feel this way. Wasim Akram, after game at Hobart, CUB series, 1999 Brett Lee: You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like its a toothpick. Brett Lee, on Sachin Tendulkars batting, 1999 BBC Sports: Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we dont know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives. Sunil Gavaskar: Indias fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing. Geoffrey Boycott: Technically, you cant fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow nothing is a problem. Sir Garfield Sobers: I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best. Alistair Campbell: After loosing to India in the Coca Cola Cup final at Sharjah in November 98 He has everything a top batsman needs. Tendulkar is a classic example of a player being so good that his age is an irrelevance David Boon: Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will Cricket Historian Vasant Raiji: I have always felt C. K. Nayadu was the best. I now think sachin has the honour of being the most outstanding batsman of all time. Steve Waugh: You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I reckon.

Wasim: Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he played in my time Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai? Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq when the latter dropped Sachins catch. Anil Kumble: Hes a shy little gentleman. I am very privileged to have played with him and seen most of the runs that he has scored. I am also extremely happy to have shared the same dressing room... He is a very reserved person and generally keeps to himself. He is very determined, committed and doesnt show too many emotions. He just goes about doing his job. The thing I admire most about this man is his poise. The way he moves, elegantly without ever looking out of place in any condition or company, suggests his pedigree. I remember he had once come to New Delhi in the 1990s to collect his Arjuna Award (Indias highest award to its top sportspersons) and he asked me if I would attend the function. He is a very sensitive human being…. Sometimes you feel he really hasnt felt the kind of competition in the world his talent deserves. I would have loved to see him perform against top quality cricketers of the previous generation. It would really have brought out the best in him. Greame Pollock: Tendulkar is the best in the world at the moment. Why Ive always liked him is that batsmen tend to be negative at times and I think batting is not about not getting out - it is to play positively. I think you got to take it to the bowlers and Sachin is one such player. When you do so, you change the game, you change bowlers because they suddenly start bowling badly because they are under pressure. Ian Chappell: Whenever I see Sachin play I am reminded of the Graeme Pollock quote of Cricket being a see the ball, hit the ball game. He hits the ball as if its there to be hit. Ravi Shastri: We always knew that Sachin Tendulkar is a great cricketer, but after the Coca-Cola Cup here, we have seen the birth of a legend. I cant think of anybody who has batted more authoritatively in one day cricket for India, or even in the world except for Vivian Richards. Navjot Sidhu: His mind is like a computer. He stores data on bowlers and knows where they are going to pitch the ball. Mark Taylor:We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin - Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997) Dravid: Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour. His balance of mind, shrewd judgement, modesty and, above all, his technical brilliance make him my all-time hero... You cant get a more complete cricketer than Sachin. He has everything that a cricketer needs to have. As a batsman, he has the technique, the hunger and the desire for runs. He always contributes with the bat as well as on the field. He also is a good fielder and bowls when needs. You really cant ask for a better cricketer than Sachin... He is a terrific person and has handled pressure brilliantly. He has handled his success very well and doesnt have any airs about him. He is a great guy and very good team man. In his heart of hearts, he is a very simple and down to earth person. Azhar: The more I see him, the more I want to see him. Sunil Gavaskar: Indias fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing. Harsha Bhogle: If Sachin plays well... India sleeps well. Saurav Ganguly: The thing I like most about Sachin is his intensity. After being in the game for so long, he still has the same desire to do well for India in any international match.I tell you what, this man is a legend. Ponting: Ponting make comparisons btn sachin,Lara& jayasuriya. Sachin is the best ever batsman in the world. He is brilliant in his technique. He is always hungry for runs.Sachin is better than Lara in his techniques & thats why he is No.1 among others.On his day,Lara wiil be more destructive. He is the only man 2 fight for west indies. Jayasuriya also played gr8 knocks 4 his team. But compared 2 them Sachin is the BEST Pradeep Mandhani -a Photographer: “Barely two hours after landing in Johannesburg on the 1992-93 tour to South Africa, the team was to visit Tolstoy Farm, Mahatma Gandhis first Satyagrahi Commune founded in 1910. It was situated 35 kms from Joburg and most of the Indian players showed little interest, longing to rest in the hotel after the long flight. But Tendulkar, still a teenager, looked keen and hungry to learn more about Gandhi. His volley of questions to the guide reflected his national pride.” NKP Salve, former Union Minister. Ricky Ponting: “Sachin is the most complete batsman I have seen. His technique is so good and he has played well in all conditions. To have 41 one-day international tons shows what an appetite he has for scoring runs.” Harsha Bhogle: Theres no better sight on the cricket field than watch Tendulkar bat. Rev David Shepherd. Sachin Tendulkar! If he isnt the best player in the world, I want to see the best player in the world. Kris Srikkanth: He is the only match-winning batsman we have Ranatunga: You get him out and half the battle is won Andy Flower: There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others. Martin Crowe: A flighted full toss on Leg stump by spinner. any other will play this shot on leg side by pull shot or glance or flick. but sachin made a space and played a perfect cover drive for four runs. Shane Warne: You have to decide for yourself whether youre bowling well or not. Hes going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway. Kasprowicz has a superior story. During the Bangalore Test, frustrated, he went to Dennis Lillee and asked, Mate, do you see any weaknesses? Lillee replied, No Michael, as long as you walk off with your pride thats all you can do. Peter Rebouck – Aussie Journalist On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!
