Sachin Tendulkar had to reinvent himself

You can take the example of Sachin Tendulkar, he did the same thing. When Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and many young players came in the team, they did exactly the same thing in their career. He had to reinvent himself, the pace at which he was playing the game.

“You have to catch up. Sometimes as a senior player you take it easy, you have been around for so long. But when that next generation comes, she starts pushing you. First time Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly came and the next change happened when Yuvraj, Sehwag and Dhoni came and now the same thing is happening with Shikhar.
