Sachin Tendulkar, who attended a campaign to support schools on Tuesday, spoke about Team India and club cricket. Some excerpts:
Is Team India complacent?
"Players didn't become complacent or over-confident because of the World Cup victory. No. 1 ranking for our team didn't happen overnight. We got there and then we slipped. Sometimes it just doesn't work."
About club cricket in India...
"Club cricket can never take country cricket's place but it's a brilliant platform. Cricket is the only sport which has three formats - T20 cricket gives you the opportunity to new players to showcase their talent."
"More importantly, it gives a chance to first-class players who may have worked hard for years but never made it to the national team. It helps them earn money which is important because they sacrificed many of their years to fulfill their dreams to play for India."
Spot-fixing controversy during the IPL..
"I would definitely say this (spot-fixing) is not a good example (to set). My advice would be to follow the people who set the right example. Follow the right direction and absorb all the good qualities."
Sachin Tendulkar was seen to be totally against his batting nature as the kids' questions fired at him, had him reacting defensively.
