India's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar shared his superstition of wearing the left pad first and using his favourite bat even if it was broken by fixing it in his hotel room. The batting maestro, who was in Amravati, Maharashtra to inaugurate a sports complex said, "I used to take off the handle, add glue, replace the handle and put chairs on it so that it got properly stuck for the next day's play. I used to do it at my hotel room," he said. Tendulkar, who was greeted by cheering students in Amravati said that winning the World Cup was the most memorable moment of his life. "It was my childhood dream to play for India and win the World Cup. To realise that dream I toiled consistently. "I never gave up and finally achieved it. It took me 22 years to realise it. I succeeded because I kept trying. So, if you want to achieve anything in your life, don't turn your back and try to achieve it till you succeed," the master told his young fans.
