5 life lessons given by Sachin Tendulkar

3. Relish responsibility

The reliance on Tendulkar was at

it's

peak in the 1990s

Any cricket supporter who followed the game in the 1990s would admit that while there were six or seven batsmen in the side, the wicket of Tendulkar for the opposition mattered more than anyone else.

He was the lynchpin of the side and the responsibility seemed to bring the best out of him.

Between 1990 and 1999, Tendulkar's lowest average with the bat was 69.08 in 50-over cricket and in Test cricket, it was 19.50 in 1991.

It almost seemed like more the pressure fell on his shoulder, the better he got as a batsman.
