    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mumbai, April 23:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Indian Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane said that he had met batting great Sachin Tendulkar at the age of 14. He uploaded a video on Instagram on Thursday which he spoke about how he met Tendulkar, who turns 47 on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was 14 and on my birthday I requested my coach that I want to meet Sachin,&quot; he says in the video. &quot;He took permission from Sachin and he said yes. He told my coach that you can ask Ajinkya to come around 4.30 in the evening.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rahane said that in his excitement, he ended up reaching his coach&#39;s home at 9.30 in the morning of the day he was to meet Tendulkar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was so excited and nervous as well. We used to live in Dombivali at the time so from there I went to Dadar where my coach lived. 9.30 in the morning, I was there at his house. And Sachin had called me at 4.30,&quot; said Rahane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;So my coach asked why are you here now and I said what if the train got delayed or there was no train. I don&#39;t want to miss any chance of meeting Sachin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I don&#39;t remember exactly what I was doing for all that time but I was roaming around outside Dadar station. I was so excited about meeting Sachin that I did not even understand when all that time went. And then I met him for the first time at his home, took his autograph and discussed a little bit about cricket.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rahane would go on to share the dressing room with Tendulkar in his initial years with the Indian team and while playing for Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n",
