New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI) Young Australian opener Philip Hughes describes the meeting with his idol Sachin Tendulkar as a "dream come true" and said the encounter with the champion batsman helped him immensely to become mentally strong.
Just after his unceremonious axing from Australia's Ashes squad, Hughes met Tendulkar at hotel in Mumbai last month.
"I met Sachin (Tendulkar) a month or six week weeks ago.
It was a dream come true moment for me. It was a generous gesture on his part to spare couple of hours for me from his busy schedule. It was a great experience," said Hughes, who is here to play in the Champions League T20 for New South Wales.
"We didn't talk anything on technical aspects. It was more of a general conversation and centered on the mental aspects of the game.
