Tendulkar's Yorkshire connection

The Indian legend's brief spell wearing the White Rose in 1992 ushered in a new era at Headingley, says Rob Bagchi, writing in the Guardian.

His [Tendulkar's] maturity had long since marked him out and he quickly acclimatised to the Yorkshire dressing room. After only a few weeks the coach, Steve Oldham, said: "They are all better players for his presence. His confidence is infectious, they all want to bat with him." ... A decade later, when he was inducted as one of five great Yorkshire players, Tendulkar said: "I will always remember this as one of the greatest four and a half months I've spent in my life."
