Just as the cricketing fraternity was running out of adjectives for the legend, Mumbai skipper Aditya Tare came up with a rather interesting one.


Speaking to The Hindu, Tare hailed the former India skipper's contribution to the progress of his side in the Ranji Trophy this season.


“Our’s is a young team and Tendulkar sir has been a big help to us. He is an inspiration to all of us. He still shows a lot of interest in Mumbai cricket,” Tare said on Monday.


“Tendulkar sir spends time with us whenever possible, keeps meeting us. And he’s like a cricket library. If you have any question on batting, bowling, fielding or even wicket-keeping, you just have to approach and ask him. You will get the right answer,” the wicketkeeper-batsman further added.


Mumbai are on the verge of making it to yet another Ranji final after dominating Madhya Pradesh in the second semi-final.


After posting 371-run first innings total, they bowled out MP for 227.


Tare himself led from the front with 68 in the first innings and 109 in the second.
