Indian cricket great Sachin Tendulkar is considered as one of the best to hold the cricket bat. His record in international cricket speaks for his greatness, but Tendulkar still has some regrets in his career.
Tendulkar, who has scored 100 international centuries and has also been part of the World Cup-winning side in 2011, spoke on his regrets in an interaction with Cricket.com.
“I have two regrets. The first is that I have never played with Sunil Gavaskar. Mr Gavaskar was my batting hero when I grew up and not playing with him as part of a team remains a regret. Mr Gavaskar retired a couple of years before I made my debut,” Tendulkar told Cricket.com.
The other regret of Tendulkar is that he couldn't play against Sir Viv Richards in international cricket, although he had the opportunity to play against him in county cricket.
“My other regret is not having played against my childhood hero Sir Vivian Richards. I was fortunate to have played against him in county cricket, but I still rue not being able to play against him in an international match. Even though Sir Richards retired in 1991 and we have a couple of years overlapping in our careers, we did not get to play against each other,” he added.
The West Indies legend also rates Tendulkar very highly. Richards had once said he hasn't watched a better batsman than the India great.
