Fans Praise Tendulkar’s Humility
The viral clip prompted a wave of appreciation from social media users, with many focusing less on Tendulkar’s legendary cricket career and more on his simple act of kindness.
One user wrote, “Pure class and humility.”
Another commented, “It is this very humility that saw him stand solitarily and solidly at the very pinnacle of success for almost two consistent decades. Talent surely helps, but humility gives wings upon which one can soar to rarefied heights.”
A third user added, “True Bharatratna”.
Sachin Tendulkar’s Lessons From His Father
Tendulkar has often spoken about the values he learnt from his father, Ramesh Tendulkar, who was a writer, poet and professor.
In a social media post on Teacher’s Day, Tendulkar recalled his father’s influence and the lessons that stayed with him throughout his life.
The cricketer wrote “My father, Ramesh Tendulkar, was a writer, poet, and a professor, but more a mentor, a guide to many, including me. He gave me the freedom to pursue cricket while reminding me that success should never come at the cost of character. Some of the words my father said to me as a young boy have stayed with me throughout my life: failure is okay, but cheating is not. Never take shortcuts.”
