Behind the scenes of Sachin's empire. 🏏✨🏏✨

Assalamualaikum.

warm wishes to everyone .

Hope all of you are well and enjoying the great platform of steemit.

On November 17, 2013, the 3rd day of the 2nd Test between India and the West Indies is underway at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai; It was pretty sure the day the match was over. That's why there is a crowd of people inside and outside the stadium. No, there was no special record in the West Indies vs India match that day, which is why so many cricket fans will be flocking inside and outside Mumbai's Wankhede. The reason is different, the reason is the departure of the king of the cricket state, the reason is the departure of the highest run-getter in the history of international cricket, the reason is that November 16, 2013 is going to be the farewell day of the owner of one hundred international centuries.

Not only the crowd of supporters inside and outside the stadium, but also the stadium authorities had to face to make room for the journalists in the press box. There were huge banners outside the main gate of the stadium that day. In one of them, "BS: Before Sachin" and "AS: After Sachin", some supporters divided the cricket history into two parts.

Stay away from the entire career of this Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, even if you just sit down to write about his farewell match, a huge book can be written effortlessly. I can't do that; So I tried to tell some behind the scenes story of this empire called Sachin. That must be the story before the start of his cricket career, the story of little Sachin.

Without a lot of love and concentration for cricket, a career like Sachin's cannot be built. The beginning of this love-concentration started from Sachin's childhood. He will leave only after achieving what he likes. This attitude started from baby Sachin. Let's start with the story "Bicycle and Sachin".

I want little Sachin's bicycle. He has not yet been able to understand the need to eat Himsim to meet the minimum needs of a family of 4 children in Mumbai, so he wants a bicycle. If you don't get a bicycle, don't go out of the house. Whatever the case, it is like playing out for a whole week, but the most tempting thing to do is to point the finger at the position. One day he pushed his head through the grill of the verandah; Couldn't find out. Tendulkar was stuck like that for about half an hour.

What else to do? Bicycles have to be given, the worldly accounting has been done and the money for the bicycles has been set aside and a new bicycle has been bought for Adar's little boy. However, on the first day, Sachin Ramesh had an accident with his bicycle. 8 stitches had to be given over the right eye. Tendulkar's addiction to getting what he wants shifts to cricket. Cricket is meditation, cricket is knowledge, cricket has become everything in Sachin's life since then.

Let's go ahead and get started. 12-year-old Sachin is the captain of his team in an ongoing match at Shivaji Park. The regular wicketkeeper of the team has left the field due to injury. Team captain Sachin asked everyone else in the team if anyone wanted to stand behind the wicket. No one answered. He didn't even try to force anyone else there as captain, he stood behind the wicket with gloves in hand. This is Sachin's first as a wicketkeeper, it is not at all easy to stand there with zero experience. Injured naturally; Under the eyes, the condition is like dripping with blood.

There is no money to get in a taxi, the fear of getting on the bus with these bloody faces and clothes, even relying on a friend's bicycle is almost impossible on the busiest Mumbai streets. Walk back home. The reason for being injured is not just zero experience. The reason is the pitch on which they were played. And without standing behind the wicket, he got injured many times, the reason was, "Helmet is forbidden" so that these young cricketers can become much more proficient in the art of dropping the ball.

Let's go to Sachin's school. Let's start with the school holidays. Tendulkar played 55 practice matches during a 60-day long summer vacation. So surprised? Then drink a glass of water before looking at his holiday routine.
To be present on the field before 8:30 in the morning, practice starts from 8:30 to 2 hours. A total of 5 net sessions in 2 hours.

After a two-hour practice session, Sachin's destination was a straight practice match. By the time the match ends at 4:30 pm, the energy, the recklessness, the will are all gone. But Sachin loved cricket. After a short break of 30 minutes, Sachin would resume his evening session. Just like in the morning, after finishing 5 net sessions in 2 hours, it is 6 pm. Even if it ended here, it would be acceptable. But that is not the end of the story.

Another 15 minute session called Final Session. Tendulkar's coach Ramakanta Archekar used to put a 1 rupee coin on the stamp, every bowler would throw the ball and field 16-17. The stipulation was, "If Sachin can finish 15 minutes without getting out, then Sachin will get the 1 rupee coin on the stamp." Even in the midst of this difficult challenge, the little Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar took 13 coins.

Seeing the name of the final session, did you think it ended here? Not at all! After pads and gloves, I had to run around the entire Shivaji Park twice. Understand, however, how much Sachin loved cricket!

When I am in the story of school, let me end by saying a little more about school. The distance between Sachin's school and Shivaji Park was about an hour and a half by bus. On top of this, Sachin would run for the bus after finishing the practice again, and if he missed, he would rush to reach the school.

There are many more stories that can be explored. But I don't want to do it anymore. That Sachin Binod Kambli made a pair of 84 runs, Ranji Trophy-Duleep Trophy-Iranian Trophy; He scored a century in his debut match in 3 tournaments. Let the story of Sachin of the national team be picked up for another day, this is the end of the story of little Sachin. Promises, love, affection, dreams all revolved around cricket - who will be the best ever in the game of cricket?
