India's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has thanked the Maharashtra Government's decision to build a statue of his childhood coach, the Late Ramakant Achrekar, at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
"Achrekar Sir has had an immense impact on my life and several other lives. I am speaking on behalf of all his students. His life revolved around cricket in Shivaji Park. Being at Shivaji Park forever is what he would have wished for. I am very happy with the government’s decision to build a statue for Achrekar Sir at his karmabhoomi," Tendulkar posted on X (formerly Twitter).
