NEW DELHI, April 6: India badly missed Sachin Tendulkar during the Ahmedabad Test where South Africa handed the host their fourth biggest defeat on home soil on the third day of the second Test. The groin injury may have kept Tendulkar out of the third Test against South Africa but the Master Blaster feels winning the World Cup has been an unfulfilled dream.

Speaking to a private news channel the Master Blaster said, "Winning the World Cup is certainly still an unfulfilled dream and I would love to play in it." Sachin said that he will now weigh his career options series by series without setting a timeline for retirement.

In a career span of 18 years and counting, Tendulkar has played 147 Tests and 417 One-Day Internationals. He has amassed 11782 Test runs and 16361 ODI runs with 39 and 42 hundreds in each form of the game.

Talking about his career and goal Sachin said, "I am enjoying my cricket at the moment, but don't want to think too much into the future. I have been playing almost non-stop for 20 years and want to focus only on the present."

The Little Master has been plagued by injuries of late. If it was the tennis elbow some time back, now it is a strained groin that is keeping Tendulkar out of the ongoing Test series against South Africa.
