Shane Warne has stated that India batsman Sachin Tendulkar was a "credit to the game" of cricket.
The 40-year-old scored 74 in what is likely to be his final Test innings for India on Friday.
Former Australia spinner Warne has said that he will remember Tendulkar for his conduct both on and off the field.
"We played against each other for 20 years, but away from the cricket he's very humble, very softly spoken," Warne told Sky Sports News. "We spent a lot of time over dinner listening to music, talking cars - the friendship and respect we have for each other is what I will take away from him.
"As a cricketer, he was the best batsman I ever played against. You can look at his skills and his numbers, but it was the way he did it, with the expectation of a nation. The way he handled himself on and off the field, he was a real credit to the game, himself and India.
"Everyone will miss him. I don't think the bowlers will miss him, but the world of cricket will miss him."
Tendulkar has played 200 Tests for India since making his debut against Pakistan in 1989.
