उत्तर
Between 5 pm and 7 pm, Sachin would have five more net sessions. Towards the last 15 minutes, Achrekar Sir would place a one rupee coin on top of the stumps and if Sachin managed to avoid getting out, the coin was his. In this session, every bowler in the camp would come and bowl to him, with some sixty to seventy boys fielding. It meant he had to hit every ball along the ground to survive and win the one rupee coin. This period was the intense fifteen minutes.
