Sachin Tendulkar is in his prime and any apprehension that he has lost some of his sheen is unfounded, according to Indian cricket team's coach John Wright.

"Sachin is not declining. In fact, he is in his prime," Wright told reporters in Lucknow during the Duleep Trophy match between North and West Zone.

"Unfortunately he has had some injuries. (But) he still has got a lot of cricket left in him. He loves to play... to achieve," he said.

"I am sure that you (people) will be lucky enough to see him play for a long time," the former New Zealand skipper added.
