“In what was an invaluable experience, the next generation got insights and perspectives on the important ingredients for success and longevity in an ever evolving sport,” BCCI said in a post on ‘X’ along with pictures of the virtual meet.

The interaction was “not just limited to technical skills and remaining fit but also the importance of staying focused, disciplined, humble and rooted in success,” it added.

Sachin Tendulkar has played more than any other player in the ICC Cricket World Cups from 1992 - 2011. He scored the record number of runs in World Cup history with 2,278 runs, playing 45 games at the time he set this record. He is also the only person to have played six World Cups, ending his career with an ICC Cricket World Cup win (2011).
