New Delhi: With age not on his side, Sachin Tendulkar has become vulnerable to full length deliveries but he is “not finished” and is still good enough to score runs at the highest level, feels former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar.

Tendulkar, 39, was bowled thrice in four innings in the just concluded India-New Zealand Test series, prompting many to announce his end as a quality batsman.

Manjrekar felt that Tendulkar still adds value to Indian batting line-up and he must be a part of the Indian side which will tour South Africa in November.

“To me, the way Tendulkar got out in his three innings against New Zealand does not suggest by any stretch of the imagination that he is finished as an international batsman.

“I will stand by what I have said all along about Tendulkar: that his run-making at the international level will stop only when he stops playing. Until then, he may not dominate as he used to but he will still be a good enough batsman to get runs at the highest level,” Manjrekar wrote in an online column. (PTI)
