"COVID19 has shut schools, yet teachers have gone online to continue teaching. Always inspiring! Forever grateful to them for shaping us into better human beings and helping us progress. #HappyTeachersDay to all & my 3 special teachers, my father, Achrekar sir & my brother Ajit," Tendulkar tweeted.
Ajinkya Rahane, India's vice-captain in the longest format, took to Twitter to thank everyone who satisfied his quest to learn new things.
"Everyday I have the quest to learn a little more from my mentors my game, my teammates, my coaches, my family and everyone around. #HappyTeachersDay to everyone who has ever taught me anything. Here's to letting the urge to learn, never die," Rahane tweeted.
