The evergreen chant for every Cricket lovers: Sachin….! Sachin….!

“If Cricket is a Religion, then Sachin is God”

The above phrase describes what the little man means in the cricket fraternity and especially in India. There is an era where Sports were loved by people because of its nature or the level of enthusiasm/pleasure it gives to the viewers. But this anonymous fact is broken by a gentleman called Sachin.


Yes… People started to love the Sport called Cricket because of an individual named “Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar”. Unlikely as anyone, that’s the kind of influence he has established on the game.

Let me rewind a little bit. At the age of sweet 16, anybody in the world wouldn’t like to take-up a profession seriously. But Sachin did only because he was very passionate about the game. To be frank, at 16, really I don’t know the meaning of profession. I was hardly 81 days old when the little master walked down the pitch and took guard for the first time ever in International Cricket to face against one of the world’s lethal Pakistani pace attack.

Since his debut in 1989, there is no looking back for the little master. He went on to score pile of runs in one day and 5 day games against all countries across the world. He haunted the world’s best bowlers as no one ever did. May be, no one can ever do again…

The maturity, the dedication and the perseverance he has shown on and off field is something which every youngster has to look upon. Although his fame touched the sky, his feet remained grounded as solid as anything. That’s the greatest quality of the humblest player.

He shattered everything that was written in the record books and scripted a lot more to his name. He was like a super hero of World Cricket because of the fact that he achieved few things which was meant to be impossible. Hundreds of Hundred is one such example. Eventually, he conquered everything in the world of Cricket.

Sachin influences everybody in the world who is in love with the game. His contribution to Cricket is so significant and he is one such player in the history who brings such a charm and charisma to the game.  

Ideally, everyone in this world would have shed a drop a tear during his farewell speech. For a persona like this, any adjective or superlative won’t be suffice. Even “God” seems to be a normal word when we say along with Sachin Tendulkar!

Finally, the running between 22 yards for 24 years stopped. The run meter ceased. Now he have left legacy behind for the other cricketers to follow and to conquer.

Sachin is an idol and a genuine national treasure. Sachin is not a gift to Cricket. Rather, he himself is a gift to the world. And I mean it.
