Coming from a man who has seen em all in the ninety odd years of life. But the legend was not alone in praising Sachin Tendulkar. Others like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri, Steve Waugh, Shane Warne to name a few have found Sachin exceptional. He is considered as a batsman of extraordinary talent who combines conventional correctness with power and grace. When Sachin Tendulkar is at the crease expectations are high.
People watch with abated breath.
Each shot flowing from the bat is applauded. Every bit of action is devoured. And in the rare instances when the bat fails to talk, disappointment fills the air. Millions sigh in dejection. Many leave the arena.
