Rajeev Shukla recalls Sachin Tendulkar’s stardom

Sachin Tendulkar has played a pivotal role in shaping cricket as a religion in India. He was the first cricketer from this generation to be called synonymous with the sport itself in the country.
The legend has achieved everything a cricketer would dare to dream of at the start of his career. He holds the record for featuring in most Tests (200), most ODIs (463), most centuries (100), and most runs (34,357), which is hard to scale one individual.
A person who has closely looked into Tendulkar’s is former Indian team manager, Rajeev Shukla. While speaking high of him, he recalled how fans thronged to the dressing room for the legend’s autographs and how Tendulkar was always calm and stable despite all the stardom and craze for him
“I have seen [the craze for him]. For Sachin, foreigners used to stand in queues to get his autograph. There used to be this huge line of fans outside the dressing room for his autograph. He is very popular. He is very chill, no arrogance, no high-headedness. [He is] very calm and [a] very stable person,” said Shukla on The Ranveer Show podcast.
