Accept it or not, but if there is God on Earth then that’s Sachin. You just can’t call this guy a mere mortal human being. Today’s Double ton might have given him the top position in the list of Highest ODI Scorer but it’s doesn’t proves him the greatest player of all time.Accept it or not, but if there is God on Earth then that’s Sachin. You just can’t call this guy a mere mortal human being.

Yes coz his credentials are proved long back when he debuted on 1989 and since then he has kept setting his own standards with his on-field display and his off-the field courtesy.
A man who came back just two after his father’s demise to score an crucial hundred in 1999 World Cup against Kenya can’t be a mortal character of this earth. If he is not a god then I also don’t consider Jesus Christ as the god. Sorry to all those out there. This comment is not to hurt any one’s religious sentiments but this is an expression of a die-hard cricket fan and true follower of Sachin Tendulkar. When cricketers like Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble has called it a day, little Master still carries on with the same passion and energy he had in his early years. Think about this when players like Freddie Flintoff and Brett Lee have bowed out from Test cricket, our Little Master is still scoring Hundreds and Double Hundreds and helping his country to level test series.
With the advent of IPL t20, lots of experts doubt the young player’s ability to give 100% for their country; Sachin provides the best example on how to carry on playing for our country and also for your glamorous franchise in IPL. His down to earth attitude is something that the young players should follow coz that’s what sums up a genius like him.
If you go back and see his past records you can clearly see the 2003 World Cup campaign, the Sharjah Series of 1998 were he scored back-to-back tons against Australia, brilliant Test match hundreds against Pakistan and of course Australia.
Today while scoring the double hundred he was suffering from cramp in the end of the innings but as usual he refused to get a runner or quit the battle field. In 2003 World Cup when he was suffering from cramps against the crucial group encounter against Pakistan he still continued without a runner giving India, the much deserved win against their old foes.
Another memorable knock was in Chennai in 1999 when he was struggling with his back problems but still continued playing scoring an hundred but sadly couldn’t finished the match for India.
There are many more instances that I can cite you about this great genius but then we don’t need to talk about those coz we know that he has served his country with great courage and temperament and no one I quote no one that includes the likes of lousy Shiv Sena can tamper with his energy, dignity, discipline and determination that carries him forward to represent his country.
Bravo Maestro, I know more to come, but in the mean time tell us about your favorite Little Master moment.
