After being acknowledged as one of the greatest cricket stars in the history of the game, Sachin Tendulkar can add another feather in his cap with legendary singer Asha Bhosle expressing her wish to sing a duet with the little master.

Asha, who is singing with celebrities from different walks of life, including Australian speedster Brett Lee in her latest album 'Asha and friends', said Tendulkar would be the one Indian cricketer she would like to sing with.

"I would love to sing with Sachin Tendulkar, but I don't know whether he sings. I've never asked him about it," Asha said. "I have heard that Sanjay Manjrekar is a good singer. I knew his father very well too," said the versatile singer, whose career spans over six decades.

While Australian cricketers are generally perceived as arrogant, the septuagenarian lavished praise on Lee for his good behaviour during the shooting of their album.

"Brett Lee is a very sweet boy. He has so much respect for elders and that was evident. He was calm, cool and composed as he had come to shoot the video a day before the final of the Champions Trophy," said Asha, who is believed to have sung over 12,000 songs in 14 languages including English, Russian, Nepali and Malay.

Asha was also impressed with Lee's music sense, which helped them complete the video quickly.

"Brett Lee proved not just a great singer but a terrific actor too. He performed very naturally in the music video as well. I watch a lot of cricket and knew him from before and that sort of helped a lot for the video to be wrapped up in three hours' time. He was also giving his takes quickly," she said.

"He wanted to have more of my music. So I presented him with 10 CDs of my work and he was thrilled," she added.

Asha said she watched cricket whenever possible.

"I like to watch cricket, especially important matches... as long as my schedule permits me to," she said.
