Bcci give award to Sachin Tendulkar | Sachin Tendulkar recieved lifetime achievement award from BCCI The legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar received the Col. CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award at the BCCI annual awards ceremony which was held in Mumbai on Saturday. On receiving the award , Tendulkar gave a heartwarming speech where he spoke on several aspects, including the moment when he lost his father during the 1999 Cricket World Cup and his injury struggles. Tendulkar, who has played 664 international matches for India, holds several records, including those of the highest runs in Tests (15,921) and ODIs (18,426). “In 1989, during my first tour to Pakistan, our bus used to leave at 9 am for practice. One day, I turned up late by a couple of minutes and then Kapil Paaji was sitting there and he called me ‘Tendleya, is it 9 am, or is it past 9 am?’ And since then, I have this habit of keeping my watch at least seven or eight minutes fast. “But going back to Pakistan, you know, it taught me a lot. A 16-year-old was not supposed to hear all those things. My vocabulary improved. I never thought that those kinds of words were used in Test cricket. I got to learn a lot.” “It started in 1999. During the World Cup, I lost my father. I came back to India for a couple of days for his funeral and that suddenly changed me overnight. I went back to play the World Cup to join the team. Life changed after that. #sachintendulkar #bcci #award #viralvideo
