Top 5 quotes on Sachin Tendulkar

#3 Mark Taylor

Mark Taylor was massively impressed by Sachin's knock in the 2nd innings of Chennai test during the 1997/98 series

“We did not lose to a team called India. We lost to a man called Sachin” - Mark Taylor, former Aussie skipper

When Virat Kohli fought a lone battle for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Mumbai Indians, strong opinions were floating around that Kohli should move away from RCB. This game was not the first time Kohli had seen his team flounder a run chase. Irrespective of defending a substantial total or chasing a mediocre score, RCB is destined to lose all the time.

This heartbreak can be new for Virat fans but not for Sachin fans. Sachin was the pillar of the Indian cricket team during the middle of the 90s to the early part of 2000s. In the majority of the Indian victories during that period, Sachin had played a vital role. Except for mighty Australia, all teams including Zimbabwe were evenly matched during that period.

Australian cricket team was rolling out their opponents for fun in that era as they even won three consecutive World Cups. This particular quote from the ex-Aussie skipper ‘Mark Taylor’ who played in that era can give us an idea of how Sachin was standing in the line between victory and defeat of Indian cricket team. Virat Kohli can take a leaf from Sachin’s book on how to win games for RCB single-handedly.
