Former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday paid homage to his late coach Ramakant Achrekar on the occasion of Teachers\u2019 Day. Tendulkar shared a throwback picture on Twitter in which he is receiving instructions from his coach and he captioned the post as, \u201cTeachers impart not just education but also values. Achrekar Sir taught me to play straight on the field and in life. I shall always remain grateful to him for his immeasurable contribution in my life. His lessons continue to guide me today. #TeachersDay\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCricket in heaven will be enriched with the presence of Achrekar Sir. Like many of his students, I learnt my ABCD of cricket under Sir\u2019s guidance. His contribution to my life cannot be captured in words. He built the foundation that I stand on,\u201d Tendulkar had said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast month, I met Sir along with some of his students and spent some time together. We shared a laugh as we remembered the old times. Achrekar Sir taught us the virtues of playing straight and living straight. Thank you for making us a part of your life and enriching us with your coaching manual. Well played Sir and May you coach more wherever you are,\u201d he had added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 46-year-old made his debut for India at the age of 16 and immediately became country\u2019s favourite cricketer. He aggregated 34,357 runs across formats, which is more than 6,000 runs ahead of the second-placed former Sri Lanka cricketer Kumar Sangakkara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time, Tendulkar holds the record of being the highest run-scorer of all time in the international cricket, having notched up 18,426 runs in ODI and 15,921 runs in Test matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
