Rahul Dravid showered accolades on Sachin Tendulkar on the occasion of the latter's 40th birthday and stated that it would be impossible to replace the little master. "I don't think you should look to replace him, it will be impossible," Dravid said.
"There is a lot of talent there and they have to become who they want to be. When Sunil Gavaskar retired people said where would the next Sunil Gavaskar come from but then we had Sachin Tendulkar come through," Dravid told the BBC Radio 5 Live show.
Tendulkar retired from One-Day Internationals last year but is expected to continue his Test career for some time. "For a whole generation of people it is going to be strange because they have grown up with Sachin but it is inevitable. It will happen. People move on. It is life. Cricket will go on. It is bigger than any individual. The greats have played before him and will continue to play after him," he added.
