Sachin Tendulkar Reflects on Meeting Don Bradman

On his 52nd birthday, Sachin Tendulkar reflected on his legendary cricket career and his memorable meeting with Sir Don Bradman, an encounter that has become iconic in cricket history. Bradman, widely considered the greatest batsman, once remarked that Tendulkar’s technique closely resembled his own, praising his compactness and stroke production. During their meeting, they discussed the art of batting, particularly how elite batters read bowlers’ wrist positions to anticipate deliveries. Tendulkar credited his formative years playing on Mumbai’s maidans and the guidance of coach Ramakant Achrekar for developing his skills and peripheral awareness, which later helped him excel on the international stage. Tendulkar’s unparalleled achievements, including being the leading run-scorer in international cricket and scoring 100 centuries, have solidified his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats. His legacy continues to inspire cricketers and fans worldwide.
