He’s one of those bowlers, when you look at him, you can’t figure out whether it’s the first over of the day or the last over of the day. Because he is coming at you all the time, and that is what I like. He’s a proper fast bowler and his body language is so positive. That’s what I like,” Tendulkar told in Backstage With Boria show.

“He is a fast learner, you know. In fact, last year when he played in Australia, he made his debut in Melbourne, but it never appeared like he’s playing his first match. I felt like this guy has been around for a while, that was the maturity he showed,” Sachin said.
