Travis Head
“It has to be Tendulkar. He’s the one we’ve seen batting the most on TV. Because no one else does. He used to bat the whole time.”
Steve Smith
“Sachin. I mean he was stylish, gunslinger. And undoubtedly one of the best to play with.
Pat Cummins
“Sachin Tendulkar grew up watching him.”
Alex Carey
“MS Dhoni, he was probably old when I was growing up. I played against him. And yes, I love him as a player.
Glenn Maxwell
“Everyone loved watching Sachin, because it was Sachin. He was very good, but I think the next one was VVS Laxman. Loved the way he whipped the ball from outside the off stump. And then hit the same ball through the covers. He scored one of 160 at the SCG. Paired up. He’s the one I’d love to see.”
Mitchell Marsh
“Sachin probably like everyone else. I always used to play him (in acting games) in the backyard.
Usman Khawaja
“Uh… Sehwag. He was amazing.”…
