Your inspirational quote related to sports will be:
I have a favourite story. When Brad Hogg took Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket, he went to meet Sachin. Brad Hogg asked him to give him an autograph on a picture which had both of them. Sachin wrote that this will never happen again. Whenever Hogg and Sachin met in any match, Hogg was never able to dismiss him. That is one of the most inspirational stories I have heard in sports.
