"Eric loves his cricket and was hoping for Sachin to get that hundred. 'Will Sachin get it,' he kept asking me.
'I thought you will be backing England,' I asked him, and he replied, 'no, no I want to see him score that hundred,' " said Akram yesterday.
The swing legend, who took 414 and 519 wickets in Test and ODI cricket respectively, said he is a good mate of Clapton's and attends his annual charity in London whenever he is in town.
Tendulkar, a great music lover, is believed to have liked Clapton's popular track 'Wonderful Tonight'.
