Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday said trusting teammates and respecting the opposition was pivotal for those who seek success on a cricket field.

"When we play, it was all about team work and trusting your partner. When somebody calls you for a quick single, you just trust his judgement. You don't look behind. You just run. Also something which is really important is respecting your opposition," Tendulkar said.

"Yes we want to go out and beat our competitors. But at the same time do not forget the values or do not play the game in the wrong spirit. It should be competitive and if we play in the right spirit and above all you need to respect the sport and your opposition," he said.

On his visit to the BMW plant, Tendulkar said, "It was dream come true for me and a great opportunity. I never thought of being here. Being a car enthusiast, to actually understand what goes behind building a super world class car is amazing. I met all the 550 employees (of the factory) and felt the energy. It has been an enriching experience. Thank you very much for making this day special".
