Sachin Tendulkar. The name that has the Cricketing world swell with pride. The name that is a hope of a billion people of an immensely diverse country. The name that is also referred to as “India’s Proudest Possession.”
It is also one of the names that features on my list of favorites in bold glittering gold letters.
Well, there is never a need of a reason for me to talk about him. I can go on and on about him and how awesome he is. But its special this time around. He completed 20 years in International Cricket. His total runs stand at 30,000 runs and counting which is a first in the history of Cricket itself. More details can be found here.
For me, Sachin Tendulkar is Cricket. For me, Sachin Tendulkar is sportsmanship personified.
If ever, I get to speak to him or maybe he may ever read this EVER, there’s only two things I need to tell him : Thank you very much, Sachin Tendulkar. I will always love you...
