He was my childhood hero before he even knew my name. And then one day, I walked into a dressing room and saw him there. The Master himself. But what stayed with me wasnтАЩt just his greatness. It was his grace. For all the centuries, the cheers, the weight of a billion hopes, he carried it all with the gentlest humility. Happy Birthday, Master. You didnтАЩt just play the game. You taught us how to carry ourselves through it. Loads of love always тЭдя╕П @sachin_rt
Deeply honoured to receive the Col. C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.
My cricketing journey, which spanned 24 years was never mine alone. It belonged to every coachтАЩs guidance, every teammateтАЩs trust, every fanтАЩs unwavering support and my familyтАЩs belief, love and sacrifices.
This award is a reminder to keep giving back to the sport and the people that gave me everything.
To the @BCCI and every cricket lover: thank you for letting me bat for India with an open heart and limitless boundaries. ЁЯЩПЁЯППЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│
