Long back ago, in 1987, a 14 yr kid told in an interview,”I want to play for India one day and I am pretty sure and confident that one day I will.”
The time was arrived on 15 Nov 1989, India playing Pakistan in Pakistan in 1st test at National stadium, Karachi. India lost couple of early wickets and the same 16 year kid walked in, beneath the helmet, under the unruly curly hair inside cranium, with proud feeling of being India’s youngest player to wear a test cap for his country. Boy walked out on strike with WaquarYounis at his peak form at that time. Pakistani skipper Imran Khan thrown statement at him,”India,aise bacche lekar kyu khel rahi hai..?” But he was even surprised when that boy tried to drive Waquar through covers off his very first ball in test cricket. And the world saw for the first time, the rising cricketing star from India- “SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR”.
Within the short period of time, Sachin grabbed world’s attention at him through his “most” perfect batting technique, passion towards game, complete focus, long lasting excellence, restless determination and many more such qualities.
Though he was just 5 ft 5’’ tall, but was perfectly capable of handling the difficult short deliveries of all pace bowlers.
Even Sir Don Bradman after saw Sachin playing on TV and stuck by his technique and felt like he is seeing himself . He said Sachin is 99.5% “perfect ” batsman.Sachin is the only player of current generation who is included by sir Don Bradman in his squad of playing elevation and ratedhim the best amongst his eleven.
While meantime India has seriously suffered through a disease called match fixing where we lost couple of good players and it was seemed like, it will take at least a decade for India to come back but Sachin kept hopes of Indian fans alive and proved what a single man can do.
Steve Waugh after losing a match said, “We didn’t lose to a team called India…we lost to a player called SACHIN”. While making a match strategy Rantungasaid,”You get Sachin out and half the battle you won”. Andy flower talked about Sachin,”There are two types batsman in this world.One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others”. Sachin had such great impact on this game.
Like every successful person Sachin also faced lots of criticism throughout his career but everytime he responded through his “bat” only. Every time he suffered through bad days, he came back even strongly and as an even more matured player. Guys those talk silly about this great man should know ,”he has been in form for the time longer than some of our guy shave been alive”.
He made his every dream come true, even the dream of being part of world cup winning team. Sachin believed in only single line while building his inning, “One ball at a time” and the same he has employed in building his career from a kid batsman to a LEGEND. He has massive number of world records on his name that being polite and humble even after achieving these many milestones makes Sachin stand different from others.
The legendary batsman has today announced his retirement from ODI cricket and made a unrecoverable vaccum in Indian cricket. For filling(replacing ) his place in our team, only GOD has take a rebirth otherwise it seems impossible …..
“The more I saw him, “MORE ” I want to see him” said Azhar and no doubt every Indian thinks the same. Every run by sachin is recorded for generations as a manual of classic batting, flicks, straight drives upper cuts, and every cricketing shot a dictionary can hold. We will see his videos in many computers, Youtube , Facebook . We will see him supporting various noble causes , We will even see him during net practice And for the last year in the classic five day format too, BUT we will never see him again in the blue jersey riding the hopes of crores of Indian fans
The only thing I would like say is,”We are luckiest generationon the earthof all time, who saw Sachin batting live….”We will miss u Sachin……
