&ldquo;I think Sachin Tendulkar is a national hero. He has made us so proud always. My father (Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi) once said that he takes cricket to a metaphysical level. <img alt="Sachin Tendulkar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Sachin-Tendulkar_11.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 625px;" /> When I asked him how, he said &lsquo;you know sometimes I kill the bowler before lunch and then maybe I get out because I&rsquo;ve killed him. <img alt="Saif Ali Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Saif-Ali-Khan_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 483px;" /> Sachin says he&rsquo;ll kill him before lunch after lunch, he&rsquo;ll kill him after tea and then he&rsquo;ll kill him the next day and he&rsquo;ll kill him for four days if he can&rsquo;. He used to reiterate that Sachin just takes batting to another level. It&rsquo;s sad that he&rsquo;s retiring and everybody gets older... nothing lasts forever but I think we will always remember what a great great player he&rsquo;s been. From his first match -- when Waqar Younis hit him in the face and he kept playing -- he&rsquo;s always been very brave. He&rsquo;s a true Bharat Ratna I think.&rdquo;u00a0
