Sachin Tendulkar Mind Quotations

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

Moment there is contact your sub conscious mind knows whether it's a single or more. It's that fraction of contact that matters.

I find it difficult to sleep even after all these years because my mind is constantly working and that is the way I have always prepared.

I have no doubt in my mind that Anil is India's greatest bowler ever.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

Sourav's greatest strength is his mind. He is hardworking - not only in the nets but also mentally. He bounces back.

The only thing that was on my mind was, 'I want to play for India one day,' and I was pretty sure and confident that one day I will.
