Sachin, without any doubts I’d say “The God of Cricket”. The legendry Indian cricketer, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar conquered one more record under his feet, “The first man in this planet ever scored a double century in cricket, which happens to be the world record so far”. On the match again South Africa (24/02/2010), Sachin scored 200 (not out) in just 147 balls which includes 25 fours (that’s even constituted one century), 4 sixes.
Few years back, on most of the matches Sachin was breaking his own records. Later injuries and form out haunted him, many people have said Sachin should stop playing cricket and give opportunity to the new comers. With the right spirit, right form he came back and savior of India in the recent games.
He well deserves every record he owns. Never created by miracle. He fought and won the battles than any other cricketer with great perfection and beauty.
The moment Sachin scored 200, I was on the way back from Office. The excitement could hear from my friends over phone. Dhoni shown a blasting performance in the end, in fact it looked as a selfish play. Even in the last over Dhoni was unable to give strike to Sachin. Everyone blamed him. If Sachin got more strikes in the last 3 overs, his record would be even more intact and unbeatable to anyone. I thought the game would slow up when he was in 170’s and approaching the record but never. Smashe kallis to boundary many times without any fear and careless about records. He still have enough Youth and passion left for cricket. Yet another amazing stuff is that, just after finishing his 200, he came for fielding even from the first over. What a man, what a spirit! Who can do this? As Sanjay Manjarekar said, ‘No one deserved record more than Tendulkar’
Bowing our heads to Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
