“This was in 2002-03, when a computer was brought to our dressing room. We were told that the computer will store all the data and we will have access to whatever we want to see. I asked ‘what is a computer doing in the dressing room? The computer is not going to bat for me, it’s not going to bowl for Zaheer Khan or Harbhajan (Singh).’ But over a period of time, I realised that the data stored was accessible within seconds,” Tendulkar recollected while interacting with children during a promotional event organised by a life insurance company at the Goregaon Sports Club yesterday.
