He said it was a treat to watch Sehwag bat because it was difficult to predict his next move.

"With Sehwag, I didn't know what was going to happen next. After playing with him for a while I understood what he was thinking," Tendulkar said.

He described West Indies batsman Brian Lara as a "special package" and tennis star Roger Federer as his "favourite non-cricket hero".

He also said Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar and Australian fast bowler Brett Lee were the fastest bowlers that he faced.
