In ANY team sport the captain is the leader of the pack, seniority of all other players notwithstanding. All team players play under the captain. Captain calls the shots, though he may take the advise of senior players.
Sachin just re-iterated his terrific team spirit by accepting that he can play "under" much younger captains. I think that is his greatest achievement: the conquest of ego to perform at the top stage for so long.
It is the question of outlook . I worked "with" my project leader for my school project and not "under" him.
Anyways , I think he was misquoted. I guess he said "with" and not "under" . I caught a bit of his interview while channel surfing.
