I have seen some of his most glorious innings. He has taught me not to lose hope
when your own treats you bad. He has shown how to resurrect not only yourself
but also your team in crisis.
I am talking about Sachin Tendulkar. He is considered as GOD by cricket lovers throughout
the globe and especially in India .
I
f you don’t believe me know this; there are temples to his name and people perform pujas and havans ( prayer rituals) when he bats. He was the best in his act but of lately he has suffered like any human . He is not able to play his usual game. He is aged and other player of his stature and
seniority has already retired . But he also proved his mettle in the last world
cup by playing some glorious shots and helping India have the cup. He has been
part of everything and record book knows
him pretty well for being the highest rungetter in ODI and Test , part of a
world cup winning squad and many more . He scored a 200 n.o (not out) against
South Africa thus becoming the only
player to score 200 runs in a limited over
format of the game till then(the record was broken by another Indian
Sehwag for having 219 against west indies). So he is and will be best in cricket and there is no comparison
about it but that doesn’t mean we can always count on him . The recent tours of
Australia shows how vulnerable he is . He is waiting to score his century of
century (comprising of both ODI and test) a feat that no one has achieved.
But why can’t Sachin himself retire or take a sabbatical Indian cricket team
will always be happy to have him back . After all God also needs retirement…
