The best quotes on Sachin Tendulkar

Sourav Ganguly:

"Met Sachin Tendulkar at an under-15 camp. He had all the shots in the book and his hunger for cricket was striking. Not just the talent he was born with, but what he did with the talent. Sachin will continue to be involved with the game. He can be involved with talent in India."

Mathew Hayden:

"I have seen God, he bats at no. 4 for India"

Dennis Lillee:

"If I’ve to bowl to Sachin, I’ll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard."

Brian Lara:

"Sachin is a genius. I’m a mere mortal."

Sir Don Bradman:

"I saw him (Sachin) playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two… his compactness, technique, stroke production… it all seemed to gel."

MS Dhoni:

"His schoolboy-like enthusiasm for the game is something I envy and admire. For the team he is the best available coaching manual."

Rahul Dravid:

"What he has done is set a benchmark for future generations which, probably, would be almost impossible for anyone to emulate."

Anil Kumble:

"I am fortunate that I’ve to bowl at him only in the nets."

Shah Rukh Khan:

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing us to breathe the same air as you do."
