Mohammad Ashraful, who became the highest run-getter for Bangladesh in Tests, today said a pep talk from Sachin Tendulkar before the start of the second Test spurred him to reach the landmark. “Before the match, I sought some advice from Tendulkar and he told me that I should not have any inferiority complex about my abilities. That helped a lot to improve my confidence,” the 20-year-old said on his 158 not out. (PTI)
