‘I would’ve been the next Tendulkar’

Triple H recently appeared on Sony Sports India to promote a WWE event called the Superstar Spectacle and spoke about Indian cricket. On being asked if he could’ve been a successful cricketer, he said, “I like to think I could’ve been pretty good at anything I set my mind to and I’m sure that if I picked one up I could do some damage with a Cricket bat. I mean, not the same kind of damage as a [Sachin] Tendulkar but I surely would’ve tried.”
