Batting icon Sachin Tendulkar spent a lot of his formative years practising and playing matches at the MIG Cricket Club in Bandra (East). Yesterday, after inaugurating the Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar Pavilion at the club, Tendulkar revealed how he was up against his elder brother Ajit in a single wicket tournament there way back in 1986.

"Both of us were progressing well in our respective pools and eventually met in the semi-finals. I think that is the only time we played against each other. I had learnt how to gauge the bowler's body language and I could make out that he [Ajit] did not want to win that match and so was I. We didn't want to beat each other. I started batting and he started bowling no-balls and wides. I responded by deliberately playing defensively and in single wicket tournament one doesn't defend," Sachin recalled.
