Slection committee Chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth paid his tribute to the legend Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday.
"A classic example for thriving in imbalanced world is Sachin Tendulkar. In 1989, when I was the captain, he was just 16 years old making a debut in Pakistan against Pakistan. And there was Imran Khan, Wasim Akram. You call that a balanced world?", he said.
"In his first match, he gets hit on his mouth, bleeds through his mouth. He does not go back. Then, he continues to play. Then, he continues, continues, continues and (is still) continuing!" said the Chairman of selection committee.
"But what happened later? the next match he got 75, next Test he got a 100. He became the highest run-getter in the series. He also became the highest run-getter in the one-dayers," he added.
