Sachin is god of cricket: Harbhajan

New Delhi, September 10: When it comes to taking inspiration, Sachin Tendulkar is the only name that comes to seasoned India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh’s mind.

Harbhajan says he was amazed to see the deep passion with which Tendulkar still approaches the game even after 20 successful years in international cricket and considers himself lucky to have played under the leadership of the legendary batsman.

“Sachin, to me he’s not 37, he still looks 25. The way he bats, the way he runs around and the way he does all the work or whatever that is required to be there where he’s today and I think he is tremendous,” Harbhajan said.

“He’s god of not just Indian cricket, he’s god of (world) cricket and he’s just someone who’s always there for you. Obviously, it is great to have him as a leader of Mumbai Indians and he’s been a great motivator for all of us. He has been a great role model for all of us,” he added.
