Winning World Cup 2011 for India is Tendulkar's biggest dream

However, "It did not happen overnight it was a process," the Master Blaster, who has received the second highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan from the Government of India and was elected Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997 and is hailed by almost all cricket pundits as the second best test batsman (after Don Bradman) and the best ODI batsman of all time said.

"I remember it was from 2000-01 when we started touring much better. That is when we started winning matches abroad and beating the opposition in their own backyard. South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies, England and Australia virtually all the teams in the world we have toured well and beaten them. Because of that (successes) we have started having that fearless approach. So now we are in a comfort zone, we are absolutely fearless but also sensible at the same time," he said.

Of course! With Sachin Tendulkar around, the Indian team indeed does not have anything to fear about.
