How did the act with the one rupee coin help Sachin become a good cricketer?

Solution
Winning the one-rupee coin used to give him immense satisfaction and taught him how to concentrate even when physically drained. The drive to get the one rupee for himself surely helped Sachin to survive the last fifteen minutes of his rigorous training and strive hard to survive all the bowlers and sixty to seventy boys who fielded him.
