New Delhi: Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has said that he experienced anxiety and fear before every match for 10-12 years in his career. ‘I realized that along with physical preparation, it is also important to be mentally strong.

 I could not sleep on the nights before the main matches. I overcame that bad situation by watching TV late at night and getting up in the morning and playing a video game. At that time, I realized that even making a cup of coffee in the morning would boost my morale, -”Tendulkar said in an interview.
