Sachin Sachin
When I started watching cricket Sachin was winning matches for India, single handedly. When I became a cricket aficionado, Sachin was re-writing record books and finally when I was addicted to cricket, my addiction for the game was confined to one prodigious figure named, Sachin Tendulkar.
World cricket without SRT would now fall into ambiguity. On one hand it would cherish the fact that a player has reached the pinnacle of this game while on the other hand it would lament the fact that a player who set new benchmarks for others is leaving the game. But 50 years from now, people would be compared to SRT like they are to Bradman now because of some records that would still have Sachin etched into them.
Now, when India will loose its 2nd wicket, I won't leave my work and stay glued to the TV. When a player would hit a century, I won't fall into a never-ending euphoria. Now I won't get a player's name printed on the back of my favourite T-shirt and I won't do all of this because there won't be a Sachin Tendulkar taking guard in front of me.
