One of my friends said "Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting, because the almighty is not watching you". Scoring a 200 n.o is only what people are looking at, but just imagine batting for 50 long overs especially when its the era of T20's! Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar becomes the first person on the planet to score a 200 on 24th Feb, 2010. 20 long years of his contribution to cricket and still so innocent, passionate, jaunty and so humble even after adding another feather to his cap is simply amazing. He is one person who shows his class in his performances and every time he dedicates it to his country.
I have personally been inspired by a few people in this densely populated country but this person has taught me a lot. He does not react to people who are speaking nonsense about him, but yeah he definitely replies with his performance. There was one question in my mind about his batting in the 2003 world cup final against the Aussies. There were 360 runs to chase and Sachin played a bad shot to get out in the fourth ball of the first over. When I was watching his interview to Harsha Bhogle, he answered this question. Sachin and Sourav had to open the innings, and if it was one person who can take the attack to the opposition, it had to be this little master. So before going to bat, he said to himself, "360 runs to get in 300 balls. Every four in one over will make it 200 runs in 50 balls. Now how much is remaining? 160 runs in 250 balls, possible?" This is the kind of attitude that everyone of us should have in ourselves. All of us might not be cricketers, but every difficult situation that we encountering the world has a solution. Its just that you have to think beyond the four walls of your room, but not by committing a suicide which has become a fashion these days.

The master blaster from India has silenced the critics about his retirement from the game. Now why are people so anxious about his retirement? As long a he plays well he will be in the playing 11. At the end of the day it is he who is going to take a call on his retirement. But i can assure you one thing, on the day Sachin retires the world is going to pay a tribute to him for having such a successful career in cricket.It is going to be uneasy for me to see the absence of the master in the playing 11 after he retires. I am sure many people who are waiting for his retirement will have to repent. Yep, as an Indian i can proudly say today that "Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God!"
