DIRECTIONS(Qs. 21 - 30): Read the following passage and answer the questions thatfollow:- He wasborn on April 23, 1973 at the Nirmal Nursing Home in Dadar, Mumbai. His fatherwas one of the most famous novelists of Maharashtra, Ramesh Tendulkar, and hismother Rajni was an insurance professional. His father named him after SachinDev Burman who happened to be his favourite music director. He was the youngestamong 4 siblings ? elder brothers Nitin and Ajit and elder sister Savita.The firstfew years of his life were spent at the Sahitya Sahawas Cooperative HousingSociety in Bandra East. As a young kid he was completely opposite to how he isnowadays - at school he was not averse to picking a fight or two againstchildren who had come there for the first time and this led him to be regardedas a bully of sorts.In histeens he was a big fan of John McEnroe, one of the prominent tennis stars fromthe US who was also known for his fits of temper. Ajit decided to do away withthe bullying and mischievous nature of his and so he introduced him to cricketduring 1984. He took him to Ramakant Achrekar, who was one of the mostwell-known club cricketers of his time as well as a top coach. He used to teachat Shivaji Park, Dadar. Achrekar liked what we saw with the young child andasked him to change his school to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) HighSchool, which was located in Dadar itself. The school was a top name in localcricketing circles and had gifted many famous cricketers at that time. Beforethis, he had been studying at the Indian Education Society's New English Schoolin Bandra East.He usedto practice for hours at end and whenever he became tired Achrekar used toplace a one rupee coin at the top of his stumps. The condition was that hecould keep them if he did not get out and he collected 13 coins this way, whichhe still regards as being among his most treasured possessions. It was at thistime that he decided to stay with his uncle and aunt who lived close to ShivajiPark in order to deal with a tiring schedule. At school he was regarded as achild prodigy and was a common point of discussion in the cricketing circles ofMumbai. He was a constant feature for his school team in the well-known MatungaGujarati Seva Mandal Shield. He attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Madras atthe age of 14 so that he could train and become a fast bowler. However, DennisLillee who was heading the proceedings was not impressed at the least by theyoung kid and asked him to focus on his batting instead. It was during thistime that he was not able to win the Best Junior Cricketer Award of the MumbaiCricket Association and was distraught but he received a pair of ultra-lightpads from a certain Mr Sunil Gavaskar who wrote to him as well and said that hehimself had not been able to win it as well as that age. In an effort to gee upthe young talent he also stated that he had not done too badly as a cricketerhimself: He stated after he had eclipsed Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuriesthat it had acted as possibly the greatest encouragement for him at that pointin time. MRF Pace Foundation in Madras is headed by |
