The Champion Batsman

Sachin Tendulkar has created yet an other record by surpassing Brian Lara to become the highest run getter in Tests. Sachin has to his credit 81 centuries and over 28,000 runs from 151 Tests and 416 ODIs. Sachin has earned respect and accolades from the entire cricketing fraternity. It has been a long journey for this wonderful sportsman. A great fan of Sachin, I admire his cricketing skills and his highly composed behaviour. Ironically, after dedicating himself to the Indian cricket for around 19 years, Sachin is often questioned about his ability to perform and win matches. Sachin has answered those questions and criticisms with his bat. He did the same at Nagpur after setting the record for highest runs in Test cricket. After batting through the first day patiently, Sachin was on attacking mode and came up with a well-made 88. This is what he had to say to critics after the innings.

I converted stones thrown at me to milestones

It is time for all those critics of Sachin to watch their words. Sachin might be in the last stage of his cricketing career but he’s not lost his class. Time and again, he had done enough on the ground to prove his mettle. Watching Sachin play is always a joy—his shots classic and timing impeccable. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is a legendary batsman and a true ‘Champion’ of Cricket.
