London: Retired spin legend Shane Warne has hailed Sachin Tendulkar on becoming Test cricket’s highest run-getter, saying that a batsman of his class and skill deserved to be on top of the run heap.

“I just think he has a class. I just take my hat off to him. It’s everything about him. The way he conducts himself on and off the field, the pressure he’s under with a billion people watching him every time he goes out to bat, the way he handles decisions, he’s pure skill,” Warne said. (PTI)
