It was great meeting Sachin Tendulkar, says ISL coach Peter Taylor

The Kerala Blasters coach Peter Taylor went beyond the banal when speaking about Sachin Tendulkar, the team's co-owner, in Mumbai recently.

Taylor, a former England manager known for elevating David Beckham to national captain, recalled Tendulkar's stint with the English county Yorkshire in 1992.

"I'm from England and I love my cricket," Taylor said. "And I knew he (Tendulkar) was the first non Yorkshireman to play for Yorkshire. And I've lived in Yorkshire. It was great to meet him. We are lucky to have him attached to the club because all the foreign players know him, the Indian players know him, so they want to do even better."
