Don\'t want to compare between 800 wickets and 100 tons: Sachin Tendulkar

MUMBAI: Sachin Tendulkar refused to compare his stupendous feat of scoring 100 international centuries with other milestones in the game like that of Muttiah Muralitharan\'s 800 Test wickets for Sri Lanka.



\"I don\'t like comparisons. I think getting to 800 wickets is a great thing, absolutely fabulous,\" said the senior batsman in a media interaction on Sunday.



\"All the other players who have done well and have been successful at international level, they have made huge sacrifices. There has been lot of discipline, commitment and dedication in their life to serve the nation. I respect all of them .



\"I also respect the guys who have not been successful because to play for your nation, you still have to go through the rigours and without that it doesn\'t happen. I don\'t like to compare and I respect every individual, who has achieved something.\"



Asked whether anyone else can break his record, Tendulkar said he wanted an Indian to do so.



\"About breaking the record of 100 hundreds, I don\'t know. All the records are meant to be broken. If somebody breaks it, then he must be an Indian.\"



When told he had not said anything categorical about his retirement plans, Tendulkar retorted, \"I have answered. May be you guys have not understood properly. I have always said that when I decide to retire I will let you know. Where is the question of not answering?\"
