Sachin bares his heart in candid interview

Sachin Tendulkar has finally come out and stated the obvious. In an interview to Times Now, he said, "I am 39 and I don't think I have plenty of cricket left in me."

Tendulkar went on to suggest that he would reassess his future when he takes the field against England next month.

The maestro, who has played 190 Tests, rubbished suggestions that he wanted to continue till the 200-mark. "I go series by series, rather than by numbers," he said.

A glorious 23-year-old career may be coming to an end sooner than you think.

Here are some excerpts from the interview.
