The end of a glorious
era came to an end on November 16, 2013! The God Of Cricket retired…
His style of batting,
his straight drives and his mere presence on the field will be thoroughly
missed!! Children start to play Cricket with the idea of being ‘Sachin
Tendulkar’. I have no idea how Cricket will be after Sachin… I will not get
into his statistics and records since it’s HUMUNGOUS and outstanding!! As my
father said, it would take generations to break his record and Sachin himself will
not be able to break his record.
Always called as the
God of Cricket and Master Blaster, he is also a superb human being! The way he
dedicates his centuries or records, by looking up, is simply beautiful! The fan
following he has is just brilliant! I still remember my Grandmother praying to
God so that Sachin doesn’t become Out!! That’s how much we love him!
His retirement speech and the way, for the
last time, he walked to the pitch, touched it and walked back to the green-room
with tears, made me cry! Showing respect to the 22 yards that made him “Sachin
Tendulkar” was a wonderful gesture!
Indeed, a man of such
humbleness, status and ‘records’ will always be cherished and remembered! Yet
again, Cricket without Sachin is new to all of us…
Thank You Sachin.
