Considered to be two of the best cricketers in the country. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli Their cricketing journey started on a promising note. The two formed a famous partnership of 664 runs against their alma mater Shardashram Villamandir in the Harris Shield match and also recorded an unbeaten triple ton. Both represented India at the highest level, but Kambli’s career went downhill rapidly, mainly due to disciplinary problems. Fans were shocked when the two reunited at the unveiling of coach Ramakant Ashrekar’s birth anniversary memorial in Mumbai.
Tendulkar looked as energetic as ever, but Kambli looked off track and struggling to find his balance. There is not much age difference between the two childhood friends. Sachin is currently 51 years old and Kambli is 52 years old. But anyone who doesn’t know his actual age would think Kambli is at least 15 years older than Tendulkar.
The two met at his childhood coach’s memorial service, where Kambli even sang a song. But even the former Indian cricketer’s speech lacked clarity. When Kambli started singing, Sachin seemed completely numb at first, but later clapped for his old friend. Here’s the video:

After the memorial service, Ramakant’s daughter Vishakha Dalvi spoke about her late father and highlighted his “selfless” attitude as a coach.
“Sir was always known in the headlines as the ‘selfless coach’. He never had a commercial approach. To him, the essence of a teacher was to coach children, and he He did it wholeheartedly. He shaped the future of his students.” We can call him a saint because people like him are rare. I am here now because of him,” she told ANI.
“He received numerous awards such as the Dronacharya Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Padma Shri, etc. Despite the accolades, he remained a simple person who loved life and knew how to live it to the fullest. I never saw him tired. On tour, he would go to the field as soon as he ate, and the word rest was not in his dictionary. But I am also following the same path,” she added.
