Salam Mumbai
No country will have a player like Sachin Tendulkar. But he has played for 20 years! Now I understand the secret of his success. How many ducks he has scored? How many times he had not batted when it was required most? I am not telling this because he belongs to Mumbai and Lata Mangeshkar has said she is like the mother to him.
Because all papers praise him, I cannot join the band. He signed a contract with Pepsi for many years that was the reason he played for so long. He is a bore! How many youngsters he would have stopped in India from playing for India? Does he really deserve this credit?
I need not spend time to take out the exact statistics of how many failures did Tendulkar face! I agree he is a prodigy, but he has overplayed that and curbed many others!
