When Rahul Sharma bowled out Sachin Tendulkar, only to be bowled over by the master blaster

Hindustan Times  

A word of praise from legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has twice earned leg-spinner Rahul Sharma a fresh lease of life. People would compare him with India’s most successful leg-spinner Anil Kumble and within months he bagged team India berth. That’s when I decided to retire and start my second innings with this league.” During the tense times, Indian women cricket team coach Ramesh Powar suggested Rahul to consult famous psychologist Mugdha Bhavare. Rahul did make a comeback playing for Jalandhar last season in the Punjab inter-district tournament but his chances faded with young spinners Mayank Markande and Abhishek Sharma hogging the spotlight for the state team.
