Sachin Tendulkar reminisces about his journey to cricket and starting from the streets

He additionally voiced deep appreciation for the sport and what it has imparted to him over the years during his interaction with the media.

My journey of cricket also started like this. We used to play in front of our building then I went to Shivaji Park and from there to Wankhede and other stadiums. This journey has taught me many things and whatever this cricket has given me, be it respect or love, I can't be more thankful.
