Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif spoke about how Sachin Tendulkar helped build team unity. Kaif said during his playing days, the team was like a family and players spent time together after practice. Even Sachin waited for the last player to finish drills before leaving. Kaif noted that now players are more professional and often leave practice quickly, spending time alone on phones or watching movies. He also said today’s players travel with personal chefs and trainers due to more matches and fitness needs. Kaif stressed that while professionalism has increased, the bonding and unity from the past, led by Tendulkar, were very important for the team’s strength.
