New Delhi: India's master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been elected as one of the top 60 influential personalities in Asia by Time magazine.
Also on the list are Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Mother Teresa. Quite a company for the batting maestro who has been described in Time as the "greatest living exponent of his craft."
Paying a tribute to Sachin's genius the magazine further writes, "When he's in form, which is often, Tendulkar can rout the world's best bowlers with ease."
Tendulkar however, maintained his usual modesty when asked about the honour. "I don't think I am in the league of the great Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru. Time magazine have their own opinion and it is an honour."
The anniversary edition will be available from the 13th of November.
