"Learn how to turn expectations into inspiration", says column written, former England cricketer Ed Smith to Football player Wayne Rooney.
In an article headlined 'Sanctuary of crease lets Tendulkar reveal genius,' Smith had written, "Twice last week, sportsmen have proved me spectacularly wrong. First, Sachin Tendulkar reached 14,000 Test-match runs. And that's not the amazing part.

Mukesh Ambani will move to his modest $ 1 Billion home 'Antila' with his wife, 3 children and 600 Staff members
Indian Billionaire and Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani's new 27-storey Mumbai skyscraper named 'Antila' likely sets a record as the world's most expensive residential home, according to ‘Forbes’ magazine.
The Mukesh Ambani family with their staff members will be joining their 19,500-square-foot new home by the end of this month.
Noting that the home is worth 630 million pounds, or $ 1 billion, as reported by 'The Telegraph'
