The former bowler opens up about Sachin Tendulkar’s personality
Furthermore, Shoaib Akhtar adds that Sachin Tendulkar is one of the greatest batsmen of his generation. He says that Tendulkar is a good friend and has a humble personality. Furthermore, he adds that Sachin Tendulkar’s kindness and gentleness makes him the legend he is today. Akhtar takes the time to add that he has dismissed the Master Blaster at least 12 to 13 times during his career.
“He hit me for a six in Centurion, which makes India very happy. They keep showing the same six. If I knew that one six can make 1.3 billion Indians so happy, I would have conceded a six every day. Sachin has been a very, very close friend of mine, he’s a tremendous guy, very humble. He’s been the greatest batsman, but I might have dismissed him 12-13 times in matches.”
