Happy Guru Purnima: Batting great Sachin Tendulkar paid an emotional tribute to his late coach Ramakant Achrekar on the occasion of Guru Purnima, saying he would always feel there was 'one more thank you' left to express to the man who shaped both his cricket and character.
Sharing photographs from his visit to Achrekar’s memorial at Shivaji Park, Tendulkar reflected on the lasting impact his childhood coach had on his journey from a young cricketer to one of the greatest players the game has produced.
“Standing here today, I realised something. No matter how many years pass, I’ll always feel like I have one more ‘thank you’ left to say. Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and helping me become the person I am. Happy Guru Purnima, Achrekar Sir,” Tendulkar wrote in a post on social media.
