"No matter if you are young, as young as Sachin was when he started, or even if you don't have people who are pushing you, you just have to believe in your talent. He sells dreams to the young people. He is an incredible icon to have. India's Prime Icon," she concluded.

Tendulkar is currently preparing for the home series against England who will be touring the country for four Test matches and two T20 Internationals.
