The 27-year-old said he still watches Tendulkar's batting footage while calling his technique 'unbelievable'. "Still love watching old footages of @sachin_rt bat now. unbelievable technique, so much to learn from how he played the game," he tweeted.

Last month, in a video for cricket.com.au, Labuschagne built his 'perfect batter' and named Tendulkar's straight drive as one of the shots for his perfect batter.

“For a righty, I’m gonna start with a Sachin Tendulkar’s straight drive. That was a shot you loved seeing. So crisp and pure. Then I’m gonna go with Ponting’s pull shot - his trademark. Everyone loved seeing the full flow of that,” he had said.

Tendulkar retired from international cricket in 2013 and played his last match for India against West Indies in front of his home crowd at Wankhede Stadium. It was also his 200th Test match.
