Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, one of the world's greatest batsmen, ruled international cricket for 24 years. He made several records during his glorious cricketing career. Sachin is the only batsman in the world who has 100 International centuries to his name. He has scored more than 34,000 runs in international cricket.
Team India won the 2011 ODI World Cup by defeating Sri Lanka in the final at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. In an interview, Sachin Tendulkar had revealed India's World Cup win in 2011 is the best day of his cricketing life. He said his biggest dream came true that day. Tendulkar, who played 664 international matches for India, has now revealed two regrets in life despite an illustrious career.

"I have two regrets. The first is that I have never played with Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar was my batting hero when I grew up and not playing with him as part of a team remains a regret. Gavaskar retired a couple of years before I made my debut," Tendulkar told cricket.com.
Tendulkar, who is still the leading run-scorer in Tests and ODIs, retired from international cricket in 2013 after scoring 15,921 Test runs. The legend added that his second regret was not being able to play "against my childhood hero Sir Vivian Richards".
"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.
