New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI) Legions of fans may adore him as god of cricket but Sachin Tendulkar insists that he is only a mortal who loves playing for his country.
"I'm glad so many people follow my career. But I am not a god. I just love cricket, playing for India," said Tendulkar, who completed 20 years in international cricket today.

India opener Virender Sehwag had said Tendulkar was not just a legend of the game but was actually the god of cricket.

Incidentally, former Australia opener Matthew Hayden also once famously said, "I have seen god, he bats at number four for India."

Tendulkar said he was just a cricketer, who happened to enjoy the support of a sea of humanity.

"I'm an individual but there is a huge force behind me, a big team. My teammates, family, kids, friends and fans.
