I don’t know him in person, but, yes I am one of those billion die-hard fans of Sachin! :D
I don’t know the reason why I love, admire and even worship this great legend. Rather I never knew, I will ever write about him this way, when I first saw him playing in my nursery days!
There is certainly something that is so unique, something divine about him for sure or maybe he himself is GOD!
The biggest six Vs. England – 2003 world cup, the 100th ton, the stylish leg side shot, offside classic shots, so many Man of the Series awards, so many Man of the Match awards are in the basket of BEST SACHIN memories!
His achievements: here and here! OMG! The list of his first bests, and other such achievements’, is too long to add to a post! :D #Proud
“The world of Cricket is going to miss the man who dedicated everything in life for one reason.
The world of Cricket is going to miss the man who placed in a position himself no one can just imagine.
The world of Cricket is going to miss the man who served his nation with pride.
The world of Cricket is going to miss the man who excelled in his life with just one reason – Love for Cricket!”
Hundreds of youngsters who started playing cricket were inspired by him;
There was an era, when every 10th baby boy born in India was named "Sachin".
He was the reason that kept billions of people, irrespective of their religion, united.
He was the reason that batting became a sensation in India and nobody wanted to be a bowler ("Sachin banna hai :D").
The cricket matches shown on TV sets in so many TV soaps and Bollywood movies always play some Sachin match.
His 1998 Sharjah inning (Coca-Cola cup), where he danced down d track off Shane Warne's bowling, made innumerable Indians and non-Indians, as well, DANCE! :D
He is the only God, who isn't associated with any particular religion and is worshipped alike across all religions, across all states!
It is time of SACHIN mantra all over the world! Thank you Sachin for making our childhood and teenage the best part of our life. Thank you SACHIN for your wonderful memories now after your retirement :)
The time has come, when
- No one will break his TV set when someone in the Indian team gets out.
- No one will bunk their office, college, schools to watch Sachin’s batting.
- No one will pray when someone is in 90's.
- No one will care about India winning cricket matches.
- No one will be that excited, when someone like Kohli, Dhoni, Dhawan etc will hit centuries.
- No one will cry or will be upset when any of the Indian batsmen is going back to pavilion.
Such a huge fan-following Sachin has, that hundreds of Indians forget “Hockey is the National Game :D” and watch Cricket without fail! It is because of the fans, that his retirement is celebrated on full-fledge with such a festive atmosphere! This seems something like Ganesh Visarjan, where you celebrate with full happiness, but you are somewhere sad, that you will not see him play again :’) (same as Ganpati’s arrival is awaited till next year).
It is this #SachinCraze, that Star Sports presents, 93.5 RED FM playing non-stop 200 hours, for Sachin – 200*! Ad this is truly amongst the awesome things happening for his retirement, along with the best 199th Test match that he played in Kolkata (where, Sachin’s photos were put on exhibition, coin being tossed had him on one side, Sachin masks, placards forming Sachin, balloons and rose petals through aircrafts). Oh yes, even Cricbuzz has a specific page for Sachin! “Adieu Sachin”! :)
Excited for the 200th match celebrations!
And proud to be one of those hundreds, who will be posting about Sachin, these days! :) Truly legendary I must say! :)
An epitome of modesty and humility and that is what SRT is. Incredible Sachin !
ReplyDeleteThree generations across, I still remember when I was in pigtails and Dad mentioning that how there is a kid called Sachin coming up . I watched him in the Kanga league and also Ranji matches. The 1993 England test match in Mumbai . I am going to miss the "Sa-achin, Sa-achin "He is true gentleman and above all he is a proud Indian who has always put his country first.How many of us actually practice what we say , SRT does. He is God's chosen one . A parents dream child , they have done it so right , they are blessed and so is he to have such great upbringing. I could go on and on , but I do have to say this when My daughter who is nine goes to bed every night and says her prayers across the oceans far away in Michigan , She has been ending it it " God , Let me be humble like Sachin Tendulkar" I kid not, this is a kid who watched him lift the world cup on a streaming site in 2011. Today she got glimpses of the Specials SRT 200 on her way to school she was in awe.
This is Sachin effect..
Yes! This is Sachin effect!
ReplyDeleteI read so apt on a placard, "Sachin is SUN, Cricket revolves around him" :D
Salute to this man! _/\_
