I know that he has managed to almost mimic in his own way the plays of Tendulkar but does anyone know for sure if that is his role model or just one of the many he looks up to?
While I have often heard Sehweg compared to Tendulkar, I have never read anything that says that Sehweg compares himself to Tendulkar. I believe it is more a similarity in build and style that draws the comparison.
I haven't read anything concrete that would suggest that either. They do have the respect for each other that team mates should, but I just don't see the role model application that you are seeing.
