No Mentor can ever be as incredible as you are because you did not only teach me to play cricket 🏏 in the best way possible but you also taught me real life lessons.

Sachin who has always been in close association with the late coach ahead of his demise, had attended his funeral and shared an emotional message for him.

"Cricket in heaven will be enriched with the presence of Achrekar sir," Tendulkar had written in his message.

"Like many of his students, I learnt my ABCD of cricket under Sir's guidance. His contribution to my life cannot be captured in words. He built the foundation that I stand on," he had said in the statement.

"Achrekar sir taught us the virtues of playing straight and living straight. Thank you for making us a part of your life and enriching us with your coaching manual. Well played Sir and may you coach more wherever you are," Tendulkar had added in his emotional message for his former coach.

Sachin Tendulkar has been quite vociferious about the coach's role in shaping him.

As a player, Achrekar competed in one first-class game but was instrumental in moulding Tendulkar as a kid, often driving him to stadiums on his scooter.
