Sachin Tendulkar is India's greatest-ever player, having scored 15,921 runs from 200 Tests Indian superstar Sachin Tendulkar paid Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne the ultimate compliment on Friday, singling him out as the player most like himself. Labuschagne emerged from nowhere to become Test cricket's leading scorer last year with 1,104 runs, including 896 since November -- beating the great Neil Harvey (834) for the most scored by an Australian in a five-Test summer. None of this may have happened if Labuschagne had not grabbed his chance as a concussion substitute for Steve Smith during Australia's Ashes campaign in England last August. He made the most of the opportunity, [https://allinfootballncricket.blogspot.com/2020/06/sachin-tendulkar-bowling-record.html allinfootballncricket.blogspot.com] reeling off four consecutive half-centuries and finishing the Ashes with 353 runs at 50.42, before an incredible summer series against Pakistan and New Zealand. Tendulkar was at Lord's when Labuschagne came on as Test cricket's first-ever concussion substitute and was immediately impressed. "His footwork was incredible, so he would be the one I would say," Tendulkar said in Sydney when asked if any modern-day player reminds him of himself. "I saw Marnus getting hit (on the helmet) off the second ball from Jofra Archer and post that, the 15 minutes he batted, I said 'this player looks special, there is something about him'." "Footwork is not physical, it's mental," he added. "If you're not thinking positively in your mind, then your feet don't move. That clearly indicated to me that this guy is mentally strong because if you're not, your feet will not move." Tendulkar, India's greatest-ever player, who scored 15,921 runs from 200 Tests, smacking 51 centuries, is in Australia to take part in a charity match on Sunday in Melbourne to raise funds for bushfire relief.

Labuschagne Reminds Me Of Me: Tendulkar

Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar has paid Marnus Labuschagne the ultimate compliment, likening the in-form Australian's skill to his own composed batsmanship. Labuschagne has gone from strength to strength over the past year, climbing some 107 places on the Test batting rankings to sit third behind superstars Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. There has been a chorus of praise for Labuschagne, with Kohli suggesting last month the 25-year-old has the mindset to be "top player in the world for a while". Tendulkar, [https://allinfootballncricket.blogspot.com/2020/06/sachin-tendulkar-bowling-record.html allinfootballncricket.blogspot.com] having landed in Australia for Sunday's bushfire relief game in Melbourne, has now delivered perhaps the most eye-catching acclaim yet. India's greatest-ever cricketer, who scored 51 tons and some 15,921 runs in a decorated Test career, was stunned by Labuschagne's performance on Ashes debut as a concussion substitute at Lord's and his since charted the right-hander's rapid rise with interest. "His footwork was incredible, so he would be the one I would say," Tendulkar replied at the SCG on Friday, when asked whether any modern-day player reminds him of himself. "I saw Marnus getting hit (on the helmet by) the second ball he faced from Jofra Archer and post that, the 15 minutes he batted I said 'this player looks special, there is something about him'. "His footwork was precise and footwork is not physical, it's mental. If you're not thinking positively in your mind then your feet don't move. "So that clearly indicated to me that this guy is mentally strong." Don Bradman famously said he saw a bit of himself in Tendulkar, who captured the admiration of Australian players and fans by scoring an unbeaten Test century as an 18-year-old at the SCG in 1992. Tendulkar made the point he is not a big fan of comparisons but answered honestly when asked whether he would pick Kohli or Smith first in an XI. "Let an Indian pick an Indian guy," Tendulkar smiled. "I'll leave Smith to be in the other side. Virat has been my friend. "They're entertaining the entire cricketing world and it's a joy to watch both." Tendulkar described Smith as a "special player". "He's proven that on a consistent basis," he said. "His mindset - he's so organised. The technique is not something you see commonly, it's different, but he knows how to adjust." Tendulkar believed the addition of a Test championship, in which India and Australia are currently on track to meet in a Lord's final next year, was a "fantastic initiative" but harboured some concerns about day-night Tests. "I'm not too sure how the dew factor is going to play its part (in India), it could be a spoilsport," he said.
