SPORT TENDULKAR PAK 3 LAST

"What has impressed me the most about Tendulkar all these
years is his humble and simple nature. I never saw him ever
let the fame and adulation he enjoys get to his head," Inzamam
said.
"Whenever we played India we always knew Tendulkar was
the key wicket for us it would always be a psychological blow
for the Indians. His greatness is depicted in his outstanding
statistics. I think it was largely due to the confidence and
poise he brought to the Indian team that it had produced some
many top batsmen in the modern era," he added.
Another former captain and ex-wicketkeeper Rashid Latif
said Tendulkar was a role model for the gentleman's game.
"I had heard a lot of about him when I first played
against him but what struck me was his simple nature. I don't
recall a match in which I saw him being over-aggressive, brash
or sledge someone. That is what makes him such a great
cricketer. He uses aggression to his own benefit," he said.
Former wicketkeeper batsman Moin Khan said Tendulkar was
a perfectionist who would be hard to replace in world cricket.
"There was perfection in his batting then and it is the
same now. Obviously he is a human being and he has also failed
many times but overall I don't think I have seen a bigger
batsman then him in my time," Moin said. PTI
