New Delhi:
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday praised the Indian team’s Asia Cup 2018 victory in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by terming it as complete team effort while addressing the reporters during the IDBI Federal Life Insurance Mumbai Half Marathon Event at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.

“I will give the credit to the whole team. Individuals come and perform well, some players play the series well, some players cannot perform as desired but eventually I’ll say that I feel happy after seeing the team effort,” Tendulkar added.
