Teachers' Day 2021: Sachin Tendulkar, PT Usha, Ankita Raina extend wishes on auspicious day

Coaches across sports play a crucial role as teachers to their players. Be it the late Ramakanth Achrekar for Sachin Tendulkar, or Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma, these and many other coaches have played an influential role in helping the athletes achieve greatness across the globe. On Sunday, Teacher’s Day, which marks the birth anniversary of India’s first Vice President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, many former and current athletes took to Twitter to pay tribute to the coaches who guided them in achieving their dreams. Teachers, the real role models!

There are people who achieve greatness and then there are people who help others become great. There can't be any profession more kind than this!
To all such Teachers, wish you a very happy teacher's day!#TeachersDay
