Sachin Tendulkar’s super human feats on cricketing turf are well-known. So is his generosity, humility and discipline off it. What is not known to many, save a few senior cricketers and sports journalists, is the fact that Tendulkar, while captaining India, effectively shut the doors on a former Indian captain and few others he suspected of dubious motives.


When the match-fixing saga was unearthed at the turn of century, Tendulkar along with Saurav Ganguly and a few other senior cricketers decided to take the fixing menace head on, and while ensuring they performed to the best of their abilities to win games for country, Tendulkar & Co also decided to show the door to corrupt cricketers.
