Five life lessons we can learn from Sachin Tendulkar's career

Champions learn quickly

On his first tour to England, Sachin seemed to be struggling as he got out playing forward to the swinging deliveries. Sunil Gavaskar went up to him and said, ‘In England, play the ball late’.

The next game on, you could see Sachin waiting for the ball and standing tall to punch it down the ground. He scored a 68, soon after which, he went on to make his first test century at Old Trafford in Manchester. He had mastered the art others took years to understand. Because he was willing to learn.

We have had, on so many occasions in our lives, opportunities to learn and grow, right before us but how you treat that opportunity determines the fate of your maiden Test Century. So, the next time a learning opportunity offers itself, grab it with both hands, your own maiden test century might be somewhere around the corner.
