I read these bunch of quotes under the YT video and its such an amazing compilation. Made me even more nostalgic if thats possible 😆
1. "Sachin Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years. It is time we carried him on our shoulders Virat Kohli after India won the 2011 World Cup
2. "I have seen God, he bats at no. 4 for India Matthew Hayden
3. 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 felt that this player is playing with a style similar to mine, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...his compactness, technique, stroke production it all seemed to gel! Sir Donald Bradman
4. "I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets! Anil Kumble
5. "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) 6. "India me aap Prime Minister ko ek baar katghare me
khada kar sakte hain. Par Sachin Tendulkar par ungli nahi utha Sakte. Navjot Singh Sidhu 7. Harder he works, the luckier he gets Ian Chappell
8. I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player Shane Warne
9. 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 that's going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he's 99.5% perfect Viv Richards on Sachin Tendulkar
10. Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't 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 BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar
11. Twenty20 cricket is the dessert and you can't survive on that. Who wants to eat only desserts? Sachin Tendulkar on T20 cricket
12. He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease Greg Chappell
13. He has defined cricket in his fabulous, impeccable manner. He is to batting what Shane Warne is to bowling Richie Benaud
14. India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing Sunil Gavaskar
15. "There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others Andy Flower
16. "Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world Allan Donald
17. "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! Peter Roebuck
18. If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard Dennis Lillee
19. Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal Brian Lara
20. When you bowl at him you are not just trying to get him out, you are trying to impress him. "I want him to walk off thinking that Flintoff, he's all right isn't he? I feel privileged to have played against him Andrew Flintoff
21. Don't bowl bad balls he hits the good ones for fours Michael Kasprowicz
22. Why did you get out to such a silly shot? Anjali Tendulkar wasn't very happy with her husband's shot selection
23. What we need is 10 Tendulkars Paul Strang
24. 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 Sachin's dismissal meant they could win the game. Today, I feel that the Indian players, too, feel this way Wasim Akram
25. 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 it's a toothpick. Brett Lee
