As the nation is celebrating Teachers' Day, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, former India batsman Suresh Raina, wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, and many others from the cricketing fraternity took to social media to express their gratitude to their teachers. "Learning is a never-ending process, & on #TeachersDay, I am reminded of all my gurus who have played a key role in ensuring I remain a student forever. Forever indebted to Achrekar Sir, my brother Ajit & several others whom I continue to learn from and learn with," tweeted Sachin Tendulkar.
