New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar’s much-awaited autobiography ‘Playing It My Way’ was launched on Wednesday in the presence of some of his former teammates, celebrities and family members at an engrossing ceremony in Mumbai.
Before the launch of the book, cricket analyst and host for the evening Harsha Bhogle had three panel discussion sessions with Tendulkar’s former teammates and family, who significantly feature in the book.
The first panel discussion was attended by former India captains Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Ravi Shastri and former Mumbai cricketer Vasu Paranjape, who played a crucial role in shaping Tendulkar’s career.
Be it Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri, who welcomed Sachin to the Indian squad when he was still a 16-year-old making his international debut, or Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, who formed the great Indian middle-order with the batting maestro for more than a decade.
Even his elder brother Ajit Tendulkar, Sachin’s closest ally since he first showed interest in the sport, discussing and dissecting cricket till he retired, and Anjali, the constant support of the man who carried the burden of a billion expectations, recalled some personal memories which enthralled the audience.
