People call him by many names, The Boss, Tendua, Master Blaster, Batting Maestro or simply Sachin. Every time whenever he enters the ground to bat, the life in india goes on strike. Thats the passion of Indian people and thats the expectation of more than 1/6th of the human race, and he tries his best to live up to those expectations. Once again he played an inning of an exemplary courage and more over his inning motivated another legend of Indian cricket who is living dangerously in Team India. Congrats Sachin for your world record breaking inning.
The first match i watched on TV was the match in which Sachin hammered Abdul Kadir, a legendery spinner from pakistan some time in 1989. I was a mere kid then. Then I watched him playing in a ground just 300-400 meters from my home in kanpur. He played a great knock and i met him with my friends that time. Then came the series played in England in which he scored a great century by scoring a four on off side. England had placed 7 players in the slip. After that he scored innings of great show in Australia in 1991-92 in Benson Hedges Series. India got a 4-0 defeat in 5 test matche series. From 1989 to 2005 i watched some very great innings played by him. Who will forget the inning of 136 played by him in 1999 test series against pakistan at chennai or who can forget the inning of 114 played at perth against Australia when he was just 18.
I used to bunk classes in order to just see the innings of Sachin Tendulkar. One incident i remember. In 1996 World cup, india was playing against Srilanka at Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. I was in my school. When i got to know that india was batting then i along with Anurag decided to asked the Principal to give us a break as Sachin was playing. She immediately did the same. Such is the attitude of indian people when cricket and sachin comes. People forget their work the life goes on strike when sachin comes.
Siddhu one said that in India you can question Prime Minister but not Sachin. He is un questionable and some believe he is immortal. The only indian thing who keep india united irrespective of so many problems.
Hail Sachin, hail india, Long Live sachin Long live Indian Cricket.
