Colombo, September 15: Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar feels the Indian team has never had as many match winners as it has right now and the side”s fast-improving overseas record is a result of their consistent performance. “I think we definitely have more match winners.
There were good players earlier as well. But I think in this lot we have got match winners and more big hitters as such and you know the guys have delivered at the crunch moment,” Tendulkar told reporters here last night after India beat Sri Lanka by 46 runs to win an ODI tri-series.
“It could be with bat or bowl. But they have been delivering pretty consistently and you know they are all talented guys, extremely talented guys.
You need match winners to win consistently. That is what this team is about,” he added.
“There might be a couple of hiccups here and there but on the whole if you see the guys have really done well.” Part of the Indian team for the past two decades, Tendulkar declared the current one led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni as one of the best.
“I have been fortunate to be part of Indian cricket team from 1989. There have been so many great names.
I would not want to run anyone down by making comparisons about teams,” he said. .
