SACHIN TENDULKAR GREATEST SPORTING ROLE MODEL : GARY KIRSTEN

Indian former coach Gary Kirsten had termed batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar as the “Greatest sporting role model” he has ever meet. “I have played fair amount of cricket with Sachin and it has been a humble privilege to have worked with him and the rest of the Indian team he added. “I still remember in Adelaide (tour of Australia 2007-08), Sachin came up to me and said “Can you throw a few balls at me? I said to myself, I need to impress him. I threw from 16-17 yards and he missed a few balls. Next moment, he came to me and said,”Gary do you mind going a few yards back?”" Kirsten recollected. “To Sachin, I want to say thank you for your friendship. You are the greatest sporting role model I have ever met. Your humility, your work ethics and your pure love for the game of cricket has been a pleasure to watch, I don’t think anyone has touchedmore people than Sachin has,” Kirsten specially thanked Sachin
