1. “Nothing bad can happen to us if we’re on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it.”
-Hashim Amla, South African cricketer, reassuring himself when he was travelling on a flight.
2. “There are two kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others.”
-Andy Flower, former Zimbabwe cricketer
3. “The number of innings of his (Tendulkar’s) I have been able to sit back and watch, I think he is an amazing player. Look at his stats and records and it’s quite incredible for someone to have stayed in the game for 20 years.. He has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase him and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair!!”
-Ricky Ponting, Aussie batsman who once was expected to overhaul Sachin’s records.
