On April 24 , 1973 a legend was born in Bombay( now Mumbai ) in the family of Mr. Ramesh Tendulkar, though no one knew that he was a legend in making but it didn't took long for everyone around to realize this. Enough has been talked about Sachin's past but the main topic today is indeed one of the hottest topics in International Cricket - When should the biggest entertainer of cricket ever will hang his boots ? No one has the answer and even no one has this much of courage to speak it out loud that when should he say goodbye.
Recently Sachin first time uttered in an interview to a sports channel that after England series he will re-assess the things and will decide about the future. Well this might be a very emotional moment for each and every fan of Sachin across the globe including me. Just imagine he hasn't even said anything about retirement and people are already restless, imagine what if he comes tomorrow and announces his retirement. I have followed Sachin since I understood cricket , may be from year 1994 I have seen this amazing player entertaining each and every cricket fan around the world. To become Sachin Tendulkar you just not need special talent but you need commitment , dedication , passion , willingness to do well every time you wear Indian jersey and hunger for runs and the most important thing is you need a cool and calm head which has never seen down to people but has treated everyone with same love and respect. A man of such class has never been found in any kind of controversy , he has hardly shown any kind of emotion against worst decisions which came his way. People don't love him just because he makes batting look easy , they love him because he has never let his prolific records get over his head. He is a man of least words and maximum action.
Even after such a long journey which is almost 23 years long you can see his eagerness to go out there and show everyone that he still has something new to show. International cricket has seen so many players which has joined him at the biggest stage and left but he is still going without any hindrance. We all have seen Brian Lara , Saeed Anwar , Rahul Dravid , Sourav Ganguly , VVS Laxman , Ricky Ponting , Jacques Kallis etc. but I personally never felt anyone even close to him , not even Brian Lara ( I am sorry for this statement , but this is my personal viewpoint ).
As I am writing this Sachin still is in action for Mumbai Indians , the only team for which Sachin plays T-20 now , I still see the same energy running across his veins which was there when he smacked likes of Glenn Mcgrath , Gillespie ,Shane Warne in Sharjah.
Lets not talk about the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, at least not after what he has done for all of us and fans across the globes. There has to be a difference between him and others. Let him decide when to take this step as there won't be any better person or I should say no person in this world is of such class or level close to him who can utter when should the Great Dad retire. He hasn't disappointed in last 23 years , he won't disappoint us with his retirement at least !!!! . HAIL SACHIN TENDULKAR
very well written. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is and will remain the best batsman in the world even if he doesnt score a single run from now on.. before pointing fingers at him first ppl should try and achieve just 1 % of what he has done and achieved for himself and the country
ReplyDeleteAgreed bro .. All those who have become his critics are those who have hardly been able to achieve anything in there respective lives. I am just waiting for something big to happen that will shut there mouth and show them what this great man is made of.
