Tendulkar became the sixth India to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame after Sunil Gavaskar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid.
Tendulkar said, “On this occasion, I would like to thank all of those who were by my side over a long international career. My parents, brother Ajit and wife Anjali have been pillars of strength while I was lucky to have someone like coach Ramakant Achrekar as an early guide and mentor,” on Thursday.
The batting legend has been a ‘true inspiration’ to Ajinkya Rahane as he’s quoted tweeting, “Heartiest congratulations to @sachin_rt paaji for being inducted in the #ICCHallOfFame. You’ve been a true inspiration for me and millions all over the globe!”
