When Sachin Tendulkar was a boy, his coach Ramakant Achrekar ran a test at practice. “Achrekar would put a Re 1 coin on top of the stump,” the news agency PTI reported. If Sachin did not get out, the coin was his.
In November 2013, as Tendulkar retired, he spoke of what he valued most: “the coins that I have got from my coach Achrekar sir, those are the most important ones.”
