Cricket world has brought up so many legends and greats. I have been watching cricket for more than three decades. During my childhood days there were several greats and at that time Sunil Gavaskar and G.R.Viswanath were ruling the Cricketing world along with the Spin Trio of Bedi, Chandra and Prasanna.
Tendulkar came into the Cricket world as an International Player in 1989 and over the last 22 years he has been playing so well that he will be for ever remembered as the greatest batsman in the world.
He is still hungry for runs and especially for Centuries. I watched him get the first 100 in IPL today against Cochin Tuskers. What an innings he played from the word go. He clearly dominated the match and one would wonder how a cricketer at the age of 38 could be so hungry for runs. He scores centuries in Test Cricket, One Day Internation and T 20.
The way he plays I wonder if he really needs a cricket bat. Even if he is given a walking stick i think he can play well and score a century.
I cannot think of any other cricketer in the world who is so hungry for runs and centuries. There is none who can be compared with Tendulkar. He is truly a master blaster and the greatest batsman to be ever seen in Cricket World. He would also remain the greatest Centurion for scoring century in every form of cricket and in every cricketing nation.
I salute this great player and wish him all the best to go on for another ten years.
While agreeing with TP and several millions one wonders how many matches India has won because of his good showing - the number is far below the figures when he did not do well and India had won. This is the only credential he has not won for India. Hats off to this little master.
ReplyDeleteWhenever Tendulkar scores a century the team is losing. In the World Cup semi finals against Pakistan I was actually praying that Tendulkar should not get hundred. He scored 85 and India won the match. Yesterday in the IPL match against Cochin Tendulkar scored a fantastic 100 but the team lost the match.
ReplyDeleteIt is high time that other players started playing well to ensure team's victory whenever Tendulkar scores a century.
