I am what I am. I have not deliberately built an image for myself.
epic leader example
He is a great leader by example. Someone whom I have always admired for his ability to remain balanced and have the sense of equanimity about his captaincy.
team sadness pride
My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying. It is why I leave with sadness but also with pride.

Even if my grandchildren don’t remember the fact that I scored 10,000 runs in Test and ODI cricket, I am confident that they will remember that Sachin Tendulkar used to be my team-mate.

That's the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.
trying cricket
I have failed at times, but I never stopped trying.

The heat is not a problem but the humidity is.
