Sunil Gavaskar today congratulated Sachin Tendulkar for surpassing his record tally of 34 Test centuries and described the star batsman as “the closest thing to batting perfection the game has seen”.
“Congratulations to Sachin Tendulkar on his 35th Test century! To see a fellow Indian and somebody as prodigious a talent like Sachin takes away any tinge of sadness at a record being broken,” Gavaskar said and added that Tendulkar’s examplary conduct both on and off the field made him so special.
