As per the quotes in NDTV, Rohit Sharma said, “My inspiration has always been Sachin Tendulkar. Since I was, I think eight or nine years I started watching him and what he’s done in his career. When it comes to playing cricket, I don’t think anyone can achieve that. And, over the period of 25 years, he has managed to carry the entire responsibility of the team on his shoulder. It is not easy.”

After achieving so much, it’s not easy to stay humble, but he’s managed to do so.”
