"So many memories when it comes to Kolkata," said an emotional Tendulkar at a press conference to announce the IDBI Federal Life Insurance Marathon. Taking a trip down memory lane, Tendulkar talked about the match versus South Africa at the Eden Gardens in 1991 where the reception by the cricket fans in the city was "incredible". "The first big moment was when we played South Africa here. South Africa was getting back to international cricket and the kind of reception they got was incredible. The Kolkata crowd is always known for the passion," he added.
