After being immortalised in the form of a statue at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, India's cricketing colossus Sachin Tendulkar shared some of the previously unheard stories from his decorated cricketing career.
Sachin's life-sized statue was unveiled at the Wankhede Stadium on the eve of India's World Cup clash against Sri Lanka. The statue is dedicated to 50 years of Tendulkar's life and was installed by MCA near the Sachin Tendulkar Stand at the stadium.
At the unveiling of the statue, Sachin shared some memories from his career that not many know. One of those memories was from his final Test against West Indies in 2013 at the Wankhede stadium.
"The 2013 was the most emotional day of my life on a cricket field. I remember batting against West Indies and they (broadcasters) started showing my mother on the big screen. I was trying hard not to lose focus. Seeing my family members on the big screen, I struggled to stay focused at the crease. I couldn't help but wonder if the broadcaster was supporting us or the West Indies, as they were trying to engage the crowd while the Test had still not been done and dusted. These are memories that bring a smile to your face," Sachin said at the event.
