Sachin Tendulkar who was away from cricket for sometime is back and is all geared up for the season ahead starting with the two match test series against the New Zealand stating that he is taking things series by series as he always does.<\/p>\n
Sachin in an interview to The Times of India<\/strong> said, \u201cEvery series you play, opposition strengths are different and areas to work on are different. So, it is always advisable to take it series by series. Once the season is over, then we can look it as a whole, what made me successful and what were the areas I can get better.\u201d<\/p>\n Talking about Duncan Fletcher, who has been little off the track, he said, \u201cDuncan has been really good. Sometimes it happens (bad results) to the best of sides. I feel he’s doing a fantastic job. It was a testing time for him and everyone when he came in. He dealt with it brilliantly, kept his calm and at the same time he kept trying to see how we could improve, what we could do better. He never lost his patience. It wasn’t an easy period for anyone, for coach, player or the team to deal with the kind of season we had. But Duncan controlled everything quite nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n Squashing speculations on his retirement, Sachin said, “I don’t think like that. It will come when it has to come.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile a report in The Hindustan Times<\/strong> says Sachin Tendulkar gifted a brand new BMW car to Saina Nehwal at a felicitation function for winning a bronze medal at the London Olympics and who said that the world is yet to see the best of the star shuttler. <\/p>\n The felicitation function was organised by Vice President of Andhra Badminton Association Chamundeshwari Nath, who honoured the city girl by buying her the luxurious car.<\/p>\n “I am sure that she (Saina) is happy but not satisfied. We are also not satisfied because we know that you can go to greater heights. You have that ability with Gopi’s guidance. There are better days ahead and as a sportsperson, you always try to believe that your best is yet to come,” Sachin was quoted in the report. <\/p>\n “I am quite confident that your best is yet to come and you will emerge victorious across the world and that is what we want”.<\/p>\n Tendulkar also added,”Whatever I have seen of her there is no drama involved, it’s just quality badminton and that is what you expect from a sportsperson. After winning (bronze medal) also, she has not got carried away and that’s the beauty of being a champion sport person”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sachin Tendulkar who was away from cricket for sometime is back and is all geared up for the season ahead starting with the two match test series against the New Zealand stating that he is taking things series by series as he always does.
