The issue was that Bandra IES, the English-medium school in Mumbai where Sachin studied, did not have a cricket team. Achrekar recommended that Sachin be shifted to Shardashram Vidya mandir, whose English-and Marathi-medium cricket teams were coached by him, the book says.
Sachin’s residence at Sahitya Sahawas in Bandra was a fair distance away from Shardashram in Dadar. There was no bus that plied between the two locations directly, which meant that Sachin would have to change buses on the way, that too early in the morning, as the school opened at 7 am.
Boys of his age were generally inducted into inter-school cricket team when they were studying in Class 7 or 8. Sachin, on the other hand, was to begin Class 6, it says, adding the commute to and from Shardashram would eat into his leisure and study time.
“Professor Tendulkar could have taken the easy way out and ‘played safe’ He could very well have told his son to play cricket during the holidays and concentrate on studies for the rest of the year. He could have put his foot down on the idea of changing schools. But he did not. He and the rest of the family left the final decision to Sachin himself,” says the book.
“They assured him that they would back him, regardless of the decision he made.
“Little did they know that that was the moment when the boy’s life changed and when the history of Indian cricket took an unexpected turn. The youngest member of their family, whom they all doted on, informed them that he was ready for the change, and the challenge,” it adds.
Sachin had found his calling and had decided to let his love for cricket, which had grown into a passion under the tutelage of Achrekar, override every other aspects of his life.
