The year 1998 is considered a highly successful one for batting icon Sachin Tendulkar. It was also a year in which Team India were coached by Aunshuman Gaekwad, who took over from S Madan Lal.
On Friday, at the launch of Guts Amidst Bloodbath – the Aunshuman Gaekwad Narrative written by Aditya Bhushan and edited by Sachin Bajaj, Tendulkar paid a fine tribute to Gaekwad at the Cricket Club of India. “I was really fortunate to spend time with him [Gaekwad] when he was our coach; a number of interactions we had. Possibly, I had the best cricketing years of my life when he was our coach. We would have constructive discussions on my batting and the approach I should have.
