Basking in the success of his debut television production "24", actor Anil Kapoor Wednesday said he wished master blaster Sachin Tendulkar could continue playing cricket for the rest of his life.
"I wish he could go on and on for life...but Test cricket is a physical sport and gradually youngsters take over. The demands are tough on the body," Anil told reporters while interacting with fans.
Tendulkar announced early this month that the two-Test series against the West Indies will bring the curtain down on his illustrious 24-year-long career.
The cricketing great will be playing his 199th Test at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata Nov 6-10 and the farewell match at the Wankhede in Mumbai Nov 14-18.
