20 years of Sachin Tendulkar

Today all the news channels were showing Sachin Tendulkar's innings in Sharjah, when he helped India reach Sharjah Cup final and eventually win the final. It was 1998.

I remember that innings very well. Those were days when India team was kind of dependent on Sachin to win matches, especially against tough teams like Australia. We did'nt have as many match winners then.




Sachin Tendulkar, referred by millions as the God of cricket, probably the greatest cricketer ever and the most legendary sports person produced by India. He finished 20 years in the game today.

I also remember me in school, cutting pictures of Sachin Tendulkar, from Times of India, I still have and I treasure those pictures. He was everyone's childhood hero.

There are many articles all over the net and newspapers describing the genius and prasing the master. One of the article by Peter Roebuck says "Tendulkar has gone two decades
being a blend of the sublime and the precise, incapable of ugliness or of being dull; and those are among the least of his achievements"
