Pollock, Rhodes in awe of Tendulkar

East London: South African greats Shaun Pollock and Jonty Rhodes are in awe of Sachin Tendulkar and said despite his wealth of experience, the Mumbai Indians skipper is a keen learner.

Pollock and Rhodes, coaches of Mumbai Indians, got to observe Tendulkar up close and personal and the South Africans were amazed at how the champion batsman tries to assimilate new ideas.

Curious mind

“Sachin is open to ideas and thoughts. He has got a curious mind and is always willing to get known to new things.

“I think that has been one of the secrets to his success for such a long period. He always encourages healthy cricketing discussions,” Pollock said.

Fielding great Rhodes was surprised at the fact that Tendulkar was still a cricket enthusiast after two decades of international career.

“If you tell him anything about fielding drills and stuff, he listens carefully as if he is a young bloke and a legendary coach is speaking to him,” he added. — PTI
