Tendulkar too lauded the current captain for opening up on the issue and said the game requires a specialist to deal with players’ situation. The Indian legend took to twitter writing, “@imVkohli, proud of your success & decision to share such personal experiences. These days youngsters are constantly judged on social media. Thousands speak about them but not to them. We need to be able to listen to them and help them flourish.”
