During an interaction with his fans on twitter, Clarke revealed that Tendulkar is among five of the best players he played with or against in his career.
The other four names he took were Australian bowling greats Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis and West Indian Brian Lara.
Clarke, who has retired from the ODI and T20 formats, is currently in the West Indies for a Test series against the hosts.
