Mumbai, June 12: Dilip Vengsarkar was captain of the Indian team when a teenager named Sachin Tendulkar was destroying bowling attacks in Mumbai's school cricket tournaments. Vengsarkar said that he first got a taste of Tendulkar's talents when the Indian team was practicing in Mumbai ahead of a Test match against New Zealand in 1988, which was to be Vengsarkar's 100th Test.

"'Actually, I had heard about Sachin because he was scoring heavily in inter-school matches. These tournaments are 100 years old (and) have given a lot of cricketers for Mumbai and for India," Vengsarkar said in a Facebook Live video interview with Sportskeeda.
