If there is one thing that can stop Tendulkar dead in his tracks it is fitness problems. High on motivation, Tendulkar seldom takes breaks from the game. Even when not on national duty, Tendulkar turns out for Mumbai, his state side. Not all Indian cricketers do the same. The whole country was thrown into shock when back trouble forced Tendulkar to miss a tournament in 1999. After undergoing treatment, the little master was back to full fitness and raring to go. In a recent interview, Tendulkar said that he thought he might go on playing for another decade if fitness permitted! If that happens, you can be sure that more records will tumble. Once Tendulkar is done, the records will be steep, and hard to emulate.
