Mumbai: Paying tributes to Sachin Tendulkar who turns 37 on Saturday, Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said besides his batting exploits the veteran cricketer was a good fielder who is fitter than his age.
"He was born to play cricket. I won't speak about his batting because everyone knows about it but he is a very good fielder and his fitness is such that you won''t feel he is 37," Dhoni said on the sidelines of a promotional event.
"Even in the dressing room he ensures that the newcomers feel comfortable around him," he added.
"On Virender Sehwag, who has been ruled out of Twenty20 World Cup due to a shoulder injury, Dhoni said, "I don't know anything about the injury. It happened during the IPL but I don't know when and how the injury happened. He is a class player. But I have always said that injuries are part and parcel of sports.
"He and Gambhir have been doing a great job at the top of the innings. We just hope that Murali Vijay ensures that we won't miss Sehwag much," he added.
Commenting on his IPL side Chennai Super Kings reaching the semi-finals for the third time, Dhoni said, "Any captain will like to get to semi-finals early. But then we have managed that in all three editions and I am happy about that."
