DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:-He was born on April 23, 1973 at the Nirmal Nursing Home in Dadar, Mumbai. His father was one of the most famous novelists of Maharashtra, Ramesh Tendulkar, and his mother Rajni was an insurance professional. His father named him after Sachin Dev Burman who happened to be his favourite music director. He was the youngest among 4 siblings - elder brothers Nitin and Ajit and elder sister Savita.The first few years of his life were spent at theSahitya Sahawas Cooperative Housing Society in Bandra East. As a young kid he was completely opposite to how he is nowadays - at school he was not averse to picking a fight or two against children who had come there for the first time and this led him to be regarded as a bully of sorts.In his teens he was a big fan of John McEnroe, one of the prominent tennis stars from the US who was also known for his fits of temper. Ajit decided to do away with the bullying and mischievous nature of his and so he introduced him to cricket during 1984. He took him to Ramakant Achrekar, who was one of the most well-known club cricketers of his time as well as a top coach. He used to teach at Shivaji Park, Dadar. Achrekar liked what we saw with the young child and asked him to change his school to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) High School, which was located in Dadar itself. The school was a top name in local cricketing circles and had gifted many famous cricketers at that time. Before this, he had been studying at the Indian Education Society's New English School in Bandra East.He used to practice for hours at end and whenever he became tired Achrekar used to place a one rupee coin at the top of his stumps. The condition was that he could keep them if he did not get out and he collected 13 coins this way, which he still regards as being among his most treasured possessions. It was at this time that he decided to stay with his uncle and aunt who lived close to Shivaji Park in order to deal with a tiring schedule. At school he was regarded as a child prodigy and was a common point of discussion in the cricketing circles of Mumbai. He was a constant feature for his school team in the well-known Matunga Gujarati Seva Mandal Shield. He attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Madras at the age of 14 so that he could train and become a fast bowler. However, Dennis Lillee who was heading the proceedings was not impressed at the least by the young kid and asked him to focus on his batting instead. It was during this time that he was not able to win the Best Junior Cricketer Award of the Mumbai Cricket Association and was distraught but he received a pair of ultra-light pads from a certain Mr Sunil Gavaskar who wrote to him as well and said that he himself had not been able to win it as well as that age. In an effort to gee up the young talent he also stated that he had not done too badly as a cricketer himself: He stated after he had eclipsed Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuries that it had acted as possibly the greatest encouragement for him at that point in time.He still regards as being among his most treasured possessions; what is the possession? |
| A. | 13 coins |
| B. | his hundreds |
| C. | winning the world cup |
| D. | his sister Savita |
| Answer» B. his hundreds | |
