Hence with the moving time his hunger for perfection and runs hasn't yet washed off. This attribute in his character as a player is something that should be justly appreciated by the conferring of this honor on him.

Vijender Singh the boxing champion of India also has a similar thought about this and putting forward his view about Sachin he says that a player like him is unique and outstanding.

Ashwini Akkunji the athlete from Karnatka also supported this thought and said that Sachin has made the nation proud and has been a continuous source of motivation for other sports people.
