On getting the statue, Sachin Tendulkar said, I am very happy. It all started at Wankhede in 1998. This is where I played my first Ranji match. It was here that coach Achrekar sir reprimanded me before I became a professional player and since then I became a serious cricketer. This is a very special place for me, I have very special memories attached to this place. It is a big deal for me to have my statue at the Wankhede Stadium.
