The comparisons between Sachin Tendulkar and Don Bradman started almost as soon as the Indian batting genius hit the field as a precocious teenager.Yet, as long as Brian Lara was on the field, there was always a nagging doubt, whether the great West Indian was somehow better. The tongues had really started wagging when Sachin suffered the tennis elbow injury and some had the temerity to question whether he deserved to retain his place in Team India.
However, now we are getting the news from the horse's mouth himself - Lara has said that Sachin is the Bradman of today.
While Lara may have bowed out from any comparisons involving himself he did however, put them (Sachin and Bradman) in different categories -to keep the fans guessing!
Saluting the longevity of Sachin Tendulkar, West Indies great Brian Lara has described the Indian batting legend as the 'Don Bradman' of modern era but refused to compare the icons of different eras.
