Indian fans probably warm to Tendulkar more, because he was their darling from a very young age and he is a class above anyone else in his team. But in any other generation Dravid would be there by himself.
India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing.
I think most cricket fans would accept that Dravid and Tendulkar are very different individuals but they are both great players.
I appreciate every batsman in the world for different reasons. If I want someone to tough it out in the middle, I'd pick Steve Waugh. If I want someone who I know is going to have the technique to survive, you want a player like Tendulkar.
I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best.
By the time I made my international debut Tendulkar was already being counted among the best batsmen in the world. Most bowlers knew that his was the crucial wicket in an Indian batting line-up that boasted of many talented batsmen.
For me it is a matter of pride that I have been born in the age in the which Tendulkar is playing
In India, kids need someone to look up to. They've got it in cricket: they have Tendulkar and others.
Tendulkar has had the greatest cricket career of anyone who has ever played the game.
For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers
I have joked before that there is a good chance that I might retire before Tendulkar.
So for me Tendulkar is the greatest but Kohli is not far behind and could well end up as the greatest.
Only great players can have two shots for one ball, like Tendulkar does, and a big reason is that he picks the ball very early.
I learned from Tendulkar how to get big hundreds.
I love cricket. My all-time favourite is Sachin Tendulkar, without a shadow of a doubt.
It doesn't matter whether you move your feet or not; if your head is still and body is in balance, you can score lots of runs. This I learned from Tendulkar.
I used to be a striker for my school, but my father felt cricket had more scope. I grew up admiring Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, so I chose cricket.
My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.
I have seen that Tendulkar was not at all comfortable against Shoaib in Kolkata Test in 1999. It was Shoaib's first tour of India, and he bowled out Sachin without giving him a chance to open his account.
Well, it's such a record that you can only compare it with Bob Beamon's long-jump world record set in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. At that time it seemed that it would never be broken. Tendulkar's 50 Test centuries is one such records which doesn't look like being surpassed
Kohli is the greatest chaser by far and I am saying this keeping in mind the great man Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin was special but as far as chasing is concerned, Kohli has done better than Sachin. Kohli is unreal.
