Adam Gilchrist recalls Sachin Tendulkar8217;s knock at Sharjah

8220;I remember Sharjah 1998 when he belted us all over the park and won the game and cost us the title. Sachin that was a good one,mate,8221; Gilchrist said after his side Kings XI Punjab8217;s win over Pune Warriors in the IPL last night.

8220;Sachin is is a legend and what else can you say about him. Do wish him many happy returns.8221;

When told that Tendulkar will be turning 40,Gilchrist said,8221;40th is it,yeah,okay. Doesn8217;t get any easy after 40,mate.8221;

As the scribes present in the post-match conference posed the question on Tendulkar8217;s birthday,Gilchrist had initially joked,8221;You are going to ask this question every year about his birthday.8221;

Pune8217;s Aaron Finch said cricket lovers admire Tendulkar immensely.

8220;The sheer amount of runs that he has been able to score over his career is phenomenal. Anyone who hasn8217;t been to India probably can8217;t understand the pressure every single time he comes out to bat and that8217;s a phenomenal achievement what he has done for the game.

8220;I think especially in India and around the world he has single handedly carried forward the country8217;s expectations on his shoulders for such a long time,8221; Finch said about Tendulkar.
