New Delhi: Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly  feels that Sachin Tendulkar start scoring some runs as soon as possible or retire from internatonal cricket.

“Sachin desperately needs to get runs. He has achieved a lot and is getting a long rope because of his achievements. But the time has come and he should know how to turn it around,” Ganguly told Headlines Today.

“As somebody watching it from outside, Tendulkar is not performing and I think if I were Tendulkar, I would have retired.”

“But it’s up to him at the present moment. We want to see the great man going with a bat held high and not in terrible form,” said Ganguly.
