It's important we take gradual steps: Tendulkar
21.00 IST   05th Mar 2008

By Agencies

Sachin Tendulkar has hailed the "fantastic job" done by India's young players in ensuring the team's triumph in the Tri-Series against Australia, but has underlined the contributions of players who have been around for 7 or 8 years.

The master batsman, whose unbeaten 117 and 91 in the two finals against Australia was the key to the victories, also cautioned against getting too euphoric about the triumph, saying the team has to take gradual steps towards becoming the world's best side.

"It's important we take gradual steps. So far the youngsters have done a fantastic job," he said after the thrilling nine-run win over Australia that gave India their maiden Tri-Series win Down Under.

"This young team has done very well but if you look at cricketers who have been around for 7-8 years, they have contributed in a big manner as well," he added.

Tendulkar also downplayed his individual contribution to the team's win and said the triumph was a collective effort.

"I don't want to speak about my performance but my feeling is everyone has done an excellent job," he said.

Tendulkar termed the win as the second biggest for Indian cricket after the World Cup.

"Other than the World Cup, for me this is the greatest win. Everyone in the team, including the coaching and support staff, need to be complimented for having done an excellent job," he said.
