There are no perfect cricketers, but if there is someone closest to perfection, the only name that Harbhajan Singh could think of is Sachin Tendulkar.

While talking to news agency PTI, Bhajji revealed how the master blaster was a cricket genius and said that during the entire 2003 World Cup campaign in South Africa, Sachin didn't bat in the nets for even a single day.

"The Indian bowling unit performed well but neither Javagal Srinath, Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan nor Anil Kumble or myself bowled even once to him in the nets during the tournament," Harbhajan recollected.

Tendulkar finished the tournament with over 600 runs, including the epic 98 against Pakistan at the Centurion.
