Pic/Atul Kamble &ldquo;Like many, my idol is Sachin Sir and Rahul Dravid. When my name was announced, I walked towards the podium and was overawed when I saw him. I was surprised and didn&rsquo;t know how to react. For me, his blessings were more important than the award itself. Receiving an award from him was the best moment of my life so far,&rdquo; the class IX student said. The IES VN Sule Guruji student said that Tendulkar&rsquo;s words have inspired him to train harder. &ldquo;It was a very touching moment for me when he said &lsquo;Well done&rsquo;. He asked me to sincerely work hard the way I&rsquo;m doing right now. He is a God for many cricketers, but I can proudly say that I met him in person,&rdquo; he added.
