Shukla, who had watched the cricket of two generational talents: Sachin and Virat from close quarters as an administrator in BCCI, spoke to ANI about how he was trying to convince Sachin to go on for a year or two more while he announced his retirement from international cricket in 2013 after a 24-year-long career. He also recalled a conversation with Sachin, during which the batting maestro had expressed confidence that Virat could break his major batting records.
