As I sit down to pen these lines I get the feeling that the person about whom I am going to write is probably the most beloved son of this great nation. Even if someone tries to include the life and performances of this great soul in an article, I am sure they are bound to fail as this man is beyond the scope of imagination, beyond the reach of any analysis and beyond the pages of a silly book. So here is tribute from a person who has grown up watching this great man and one who has been greatly influenced by his modesty.
Man of records, Master Blaster these titles prove to be insufficient to describe Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Starting as a 16 year old boy, Tendulkar is at the zenith of success and amazingly his hunger doesn’t seem to end. After Starting the career against Pakistan there has been no looking back for Sachin Tendulkar as he still continues to create history every time he walks on to the field.
Most appearances in ODI’s, most ODI hundreds, most test hundreds, most international hundreds, most runs in test and one day cricket history, most runs in a calendar year, most runs in any world cup, the pages of record books would prove to be insufficient to record the achievements of this cricketing Maestro.
There is no one of his stature in World cricket today and even after reaching the apex of success which others can only dream for, this man still remains unbelievably modest and humble.
His critics have become adept to accept their defeat as every time Sachin proves them to be wrong by his match winning performances.
The double hundred that he hit which was the first of its kind was another jewel in the crown of the King of cricket. Many cricket analysts later confessed though they thought Indian dynamite Virender Sehwag to be the hot favorite for that record but they didn’t dare to write off Master Blaster from achieving that record.
no doubt he s the best.....
