  Foundation to train as a fast bowler
• Chief coach Dennis Lillee was unimpressed
  with his bowling and suggested that he focus on
  his batting instead.
• Achrekar would put a coin on the top of
  the stumps, and the bowler who dismissed
  Tendulkar would win the coin.
• If Tendulkar passed the whole session
  without getting dismissed, the coach would give
  him the coin.
• Tendulkar now considers the 13 coins he won
  then as some of his most prized possessions.
