Former India skipper Dilip Vengsarkar related a story of Tendulkar’s confidence at a young age that left him amazed. The Mumbai stalwart described an incident of Mumbai’s encounter against Hyderabad in a Ranji Trophy match in 1989. “Towards the end of the day’s play I asked nightwatchman Kiran Mokashi to be ready. When the wicket fell, I sent him instead of Sachin, but unfortunately he got out and the day ended. Sachin went up to the coach and said that there was no need for the nightwatchman as he would have batted till the end of day’s play. He had amazing confidence even at that age. Next day we stitched an important partnership of 120 with both of us getting half centuries,” Vengsarkar said during a promotional event of a book written on Tendulkar by New Delhi-based sports journalist Vimal Kumar.
