Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli has said master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has never played for records and statistics.

Kambli, a childhood friend of Tendulkar, said the maestro would not be under any pressure as he stands on the threshold of breaking Brian Lara's record of the most Test runs.

With just 15 runs separating Sachin Tendulkar from becoming the highest individual Test scorer, his childhood friend and once teammate Vinod Kambli said standing on the threshold of milestones have never put the master blaster under pressure as he never played for records.

"Sachin lives for cricket and he never thinks about records. He just enjoys playing cricket and never feel pressure for records," Kambli told PTI Bhasha.

Kambli, who has played in 17 Tests and 104 ODIs, feels Tendulkar can easily serve the country till the 2011 World Cup to be held in the subcontinent.

"Sachin can surely continue till the 2011 World Cup. He has achieved everything in his long cricket career and I want him to announce his retirement after winning the World Cup," he said.
