For me, he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers I have seen. He has done extremely well and he is a very aggressive cricketer. I look forward to the day when I can see him play live," Bolt told Times Now.
"It would be great had he played in Jamaica (the venue of the first Test). I want to see him play, that is my dream," he said. Bolt also had words of praise for Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
"I loved to watch Dhoni, he is aggressive. Both of them (Dhoni and Tendulkar) are aggressive players." Among the West Indies' players, Bolt's favourite is the explosive Chris Gayle.
"I love the way Chris Gayle bats. I have never met him but he is my favourite," said the Jamaican. Bolt, who pulled out of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi last year, said he would like to compete in India.
"In future, I hope I can make a comeback in India as I heard there is a fan base for me there. I like to thank them for the support and I would urge them to keep supporting me."
