What They Said About

'This befits an extraordinarily accomplished Indian'

"It's an honour to be a Rajya Sabha member. Having known Sachin from really close quarters, I don't think he will be able to do justice to the position. He is a straightforward person. I know his attitude and approach. He will not change his ideology or bend himself to do some favour. You know what politics is. We sportspersons tend to hit the ball straight but politicians hit the ball indirectly. I think Sachin deserves much more than that."
Former India opener and coach Anshuman Gaekwad

"Many congratulations to him. But it's up to him how he goes about it. It's difficult to say whether this move will give us results. It's like you cannot say a great cricketer [will] be a great coach. It's entirely up to him to manage this. I wish him all the best."
Former India wicketkeeper Syed Kirmani

"I don't know whether he has time to do that, because I think he is playing international cricket, he is playing in all formats of the game ... [Will] he have time to attend the Parliament [sessions]?"
Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar
