Sachin Tendulkar was like God to me when growing up.Dhoni has often said that Sachin was his cricketing idol and someone he always admired.When we were growing up, we used to watch Sachin… he had that aura around him.Dhoni described the unmatched presence Tendulkar had on and off the field.Tendulkar is a very good role model… every time he turned up on the field, he wanted to improve as a cricketer. I felt he was an ideal person to look up to.
