‘Extraordinary talent'

From calling Gothankar ‘extraordinary’ to repeating Tendulkar’s ‘i-m-possible’ phrase, hundreds of Twitter users expressed their profound respect for the player. One of the netizens also said that the video showcased the true example of the phrase “winning hands down.” Another comment read, “Motivation for life! Total respect.” One internet user also said, “Superb. It's a proof that talent alone cannot create extraordinary. To be extraordinary consistent hardwork in the form of practice and desire to improve oneself is essential.”

Earlier, Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar paid a fitting tribute to his childhood coach, late Ramakant Achrekar on July 23 on the occasion of Guru Purnima. Ramakant Achrekar has been a guide in Sachin Tendulkar's life. The late coach had helped Sachin who was an aspiring young player during his childhood by making him realise his potential at an early age when the Master Blaster decided to take up cricket. Taking to the micro-blogging site, Tendulkar posted a video where he can be seen placing a rose in front of his late coach's photo frame after which the batting maestro offers prayers to his mentor. The video concludes with the 2011 World Cup winner seeking Achrekar Sir's blessings.
