Atharva Ankolekar had achieved a rare feat in the cricket world which bowlers from all over the world who had longed to do so. At that time, this left-arm spinner, who was just 4 fit tall, managed to take the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar during a practice match. Sachin was so impressed with this bowling that he had sent his signed gloves to him at that time. About 8 years after that incident, Atharva is once again in limelight.
