Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar still has two regrets as he reflects on his cricketing careerLegendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar is considered one of the best players ever to have played the game. The only batsman to score 100 international tons and scoring the most number of runs in Test cricket and ODIs yet in a career spanning over 24 years, Tendulkar has many cricketing records to his name.

However, the 'Master Blaster' still has a couple of regrets despite achieving so much in the game as looked back at his career. Tendulkar recently said that even though he is quite satisfied with what he has achieved there are still things he wished he could have achieved.

Speaking to Cricket.com Tendulkar said, "I have two regrets. The first is that I have never played with Sunil Gavaskar. Mr Gavaskar was my batting hero when I grew up and not playing with him as part of a team remains a regret. Mr Gavaskar retired a couple of years before I made my debut.

And his other regret was not playing against his childhood hero Sir Vivian Richards. Even though both of them played in a county game for opposite teams, he still rues the fact that he couldn't play against him in international cricket.

"My other regret is not having played against my childhood hero Sir Vivian Richards. I was fortunate to have played against him in county cricket, but I still rue not being able to play against him in an international match. Even though Sir Richards retired in 1991 and we have a couple of years overlapping in our careers, we did not get to play against each other,” he added.

Tendulkar retired from international cricket in the year 2013, having scored 15,921 runs in 200 Test matches for India and 18,426 runs in 463 ODIs. He still remains the leading run-scorer in international cricket in both forms of the game (Tests and ODIs).
