He’s only on four not out, he might as well have been on 500”

Suresh Raina said ( about Sachin Tendulkar ) : "When we lost the match against South Africa in the 2011 World Cup, we had a lot of meetings after that. Sachin paaji also told us that we all should stay positive and united. Mahi bhai and Sachin paaji were exceptional in motivating the guys, they motivated everyone and then we went into the knockout stages. I think we lost the match at the right time and then the meetings came at the right time,"

Tillekeratne Dilshan said ( about Sachin Tendulkar ) : "He knew how to set up the game. He's one of most experienced guys in the XI and has the most runs to his name in international cricket. I think it's a good opening combination - one attacking batsman and the other who can be steady, though, of course, Sachin could also attack any time he wanted to. They were the two best openers in the world. And it's a left-right combination,"

Mandeep Singh said ( about Sachin Tendulkar ) : "He was the one, like many of us, who inspired to take up the sport. I started playing cricket because of Sachin Tendulkar. He was a school to me while growing up. And now, to see him field, was incredible. I was having total fun, to be honest. Just being in that moment. That was surreal. He was batting right in front of me and the stadium was jampacked. That was the first time I was playing a match with or against him. And he had demolished us. He had hit us all over the park. But to be honest, I was having great fun as well watching him bat. We ended up losing the match but I was somewhere also happy for the fact that there was Sachin Tendulkar in my first IPL match,"

Ian Gould told ( about Sachin Tendulkar ) : “When I gave him out, I think he’s out. I’ll sit here and guarantee you that if I see it again I’d still give it out, and this is simple as that. He [Sachin] talked to Gambhir and looked like he was going to walk out, and I’m thinking thank God for that. [But] then he spun on his heels and made that T sign and the world stopped,”
