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. To think that one person can affect the feelings of millions is simply baffling. All these and much more bundled into one. When everybody talks about match-fixing but the greatest batsman has never been questioned. Sachin Tendulkar combines concentration and aggression just like Vivian Richards, Krishnamachary Shrikanth, Sandip Patil etc.
