It\u2019s an individual decision. They are from two different countries, two different individuals. So there is no question of a comparison. No one can force anyone to retire and a player knows when it is the best time to retire,\u201d Gambhir said.<\/p>\n<p>Sachin\u2019s poor run has made everyone contemplate about Sachin\u2019s future, but southpaw said that he still belongs to international cricket and go on to score lot of runs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone goes through ups and down and I am sure he will come out of it. His presence in the dressing room itself is a big boost for the team. It\u2019s the sheer joy of playing the game, he loves playing. He is the greatest cricketer India has produced. Not just on the field, as a mentor he contributes off the field too. He still has the capability to make lots of runs for India,\u201d added here.<\/p>\n<p>Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni might be under-fire for being too vocal about playing on rank-turners, but Gambhir supported his skipper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA captain should get the kind of wicket he wants. There is nothing wrong in it. We all should support him instead of making it an issue. If he thinks he can win on a particular sort of wicket we should support him. After all he is your captain and he will only think about victory. All the former captains would ask for turners. I think during Mohammad Azharuddin\u2019s time we used to play on turning tracks, nobody had raised a question then,\u201d said the Delhi batsman at an event here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat amazes me is that we never appreciate the opposition. We should also praise the opposition rather than criticise our own players.The opposition does play good cricket. They are not here to just make up the numbers. The series is tied 1-1, we haven\u2019t lost it yet and we can still come back. Any country can bounce back today,\u201d added Gambhir.<\/p>\n<p>Gambhir who was at a city school as the face of the Hindustan Times\u2019 \u2018You Read, They Learn\u2019 campaign played cricket with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKids have to go to school for overall development, discipline. My biggest motivation is to contribute something for my country, like educating the kids so that they can take their own decisions,\u201d said Gambhir.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>New Delhi<\/strong>: Ricky Ponting\u2019s retirement has fuelled Sachin Tendulkar retirement debate, but Indian opener thinks otherwise and feels that the maestro\u2019s retirement has nothing to do with it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPonting retiring doesn\u2019t mean that Sachin also has to quit now.
