Sachin Tendulkar - A Legend


Its almost a month now since Sachin Tendukar has retired from all forms of cricket and now I got time to write about Him and His retirement. My last post on cricket was when Rahul Dravid retired from International Cricket. In that post also I said that cricket is everywhere in India and some or the other news is always trending related to Cricket. But Boy! this news is bigger than Cricket itself. Though Cricket should be bigger than Sachin Tendulkar but in India its other way round. Not just because He is an extra ordinary cricketer but people respect Him as a person. He is truly an idol for so many people not just from Cricket fraternity but from all past of lives. More than billion people in India are inspired from Him. Not just India but around the World, He has been worshiped.

He has been known as Tendlya, God of Cricket, Little Master, Master Blaster and with so many other names. He has been a legend of Cricket. The word "Legend" itself comes second when it is used for Sachin Tendulkar. When He comes out to bat, whole stadium used to cheer out loud.  It was one of the most amazing moment inside the stadium. Though I never got the chance to see Him play live in stadium but I always cheered Him from television. Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award will be presented to Him on 26th January 2014. 

Cricket will never be same for me after His retirement. His farewell speech is a classic and will be remembered forever in Cricket.
