TIL Desk Sports/ India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar firmly believes that sport only recognises performance on the field and not the background of an athlete.
One of the game’s all-time greats, Tendulkar retired in 2013 after breaking a plethora of records during a glorious career.
“Every time we enter the dressing room, it really didn’t matter where you came from, which part of the country and where you belong. It was a level field for everyone.
“Sport doesn’t recognise anything other than your performance on field,” Tendulkar said on Tuesday. He spoke about sports unifying people through the new initiative.
“You are out there as an individual who wants to contribute towards the team,” added the 47-year-old legendary batsman, who will connect with students and share his experiences.
