Sachin Tendulkar contemplating retirement?
New Delhi: Has the time come for the master blaster to retire from international cricket? Sachin Tendulkar may take a decision in this regard in November.
In an interview given to a news channel, Sachin said he would be analysing his fitness level series by series and thereafter take a decision in this regard. However he also said that if he feels fit and motivated he would carry on playing for India. He further said that he will go by what his heart says and at this moment he feels he can deliver but it has to be taken series by series.
He further agreed that his reflexes have slowed down which is a natural process and to expect him to play as a 19-year-old boy would not be justified. He stressed on the fact that the decision of taking retirement will solely be his call and till the time he feels he can contribute for the team he will continue playing.
In the interview he clarified that he has no plans to retire at the moment but may think over it after playing in November.
Speaking about the criticism faced in the Newzeland series where he was bowled out a number of times, the master blaster said that he doesn’t care about what people say.
When asked about the comments made by Sunil Gavaskar over his slowing reflexes, Sachin said that at times he has received some great reactions from Gavaskar and we should not keep harping on the negative comments.
I need to stay focused on the game and constantly keep finding ways to improve myself. Even Don Bradman had told me that it’s natural for a batsman to change after he is 30 said Tendulkar
