Think again before think and talk about Sachin Tendulkar.

I was pained beyond words to explain when I read a Facebook wall post that said India lost to South Africa because Sachin scored a century.

Even now I am seething in anger at how many Indian firmly believe luck alone can win and not the performances of the players on field. Majority of cricket lovers take immense pleasure in blaming the real performers and conveniently forget poor performances.

Sachin who has brought millions of Indians unforgettable pleasures of watching play cricket is undoubtedly the nations only hero, While his dedication and performance is acclaimed by the whole world that include hundreds of lends like Bradman, several Indians blame him that he is selfish. How cruel these people are.

Forgive them Sachin. They don't know sports and they are clueless to sportsmanship.

I want every cricket lover to read the excerpt of Nipun Dixit who also watched in pain the last over by Ashish Nehra.

“This is not just a game, and he is not just a sportsman. It’s much more than this. Words fail here.....” More on the article


PS. I corrected this blog post after a comment by Prateek which is published below this post.

Sehwag is scoring at a break neck speed.

In the second test against South Africa, Sehwag, the man South Africans fear most has already completed a century. He is right now not out on 115 scored off just 98 balls. His strike rate is 117 plus.

It must be breath taking to watch such a scathing attack.

Sachin Tendulkar, I believe, is also on his way to score his 47th test hundred. He is not out on 55. India are 210 for 2 wickets.

Their scoring rate is over 5 runs per over. This is a tremendous run rate in a test match. I hope India goes on to win this test and retain their world number 1 ranking in test cricket.
