If you think of cricket....?? What will first come in your mind...??I am sure it will be Sachin Tendulkar's name.
Ask a child playing cricket....which player will you want to be??? It will be again Sachin Tendulkar.
As the crowd erupted with unbridled joy, Tendulkar, tired but composed, took off his helmet, looked skyward, closed his eyes to offer a silent prayer.
The greatest accumulator of runs in the history of cricket, Tendulkar possesses nearly all major batting record even though he insisted he never chased milestones. His captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni came down from the strikers end to shake hands and hug him.
Over the past 12 months, though, Sachin has once again opened a yawning gap between himself and his contemporaries, and ensured that if at all any comparisons have to be made, they should be another Australian - Don Bradman, who was famously reminded of himself when watching Sachin bat.
Tendulkar, the world's leading run-getter, equalled West Indian Brian Lara's record of 19 scores of 150 plus. Australian legend Don Bradman did it on 18 occassions.
