Tears of God

“Yet again the ever imagined fiasco has engulfed the Indian team. The mighty Superman of Cricket even tried to rectified the woes but the storm was in no impedance mood”

It was the summer of 1990 when a 17 year old kid raises his bat for the first time to gain a much acclaimed applause from the Old Trafford crowd. At that juncture he was buoyant. Buoyant for changing the script that could have been written into England favor.

Since than 20 years have been passed. That kid has gone onto become master and a true champion. He has metamorphosed attacks and had enjoyed glory. No one could have taken the burden of a nation better than him. If a movie can be made from his life, no wonder it can won Oscar for best script.

“Sorrows Differentiate humans from God”

Sachin Tendulkar life as a cricketer can be best described as stages. Starting from ‘Infant’ to ‘sans’ he has examined each and every flair of life and much to his anticipation he is still in his sparkling age. Peoples believe that his best is yet to be witness. But what best can be accepted from 21 years old cricketer who has given every shot his best. A pile of runs in both the formats, heave of centuries describe his excellence as a player. Whether it is on the field or off the field Sachin is regarded as a Gentleman and to most of us as a God to plays Gentleman game.

Having been achieved so much and rated by Don Bradman countrymen as the greatest batsman we can saw moisture in his eye. His eyes are still wandering to find out is this the moment when I can join 1983 lords’ conqueror.

To his dismay in 2003 we came close. Sachin on that particular tournament wrote the script alone. His brilliance on the pitch was remarkable and even single-handedly guided Team India to a win against arch rival ‘Pakistan’. Seeing the 2003 Team India and their winning hurdle, even pundits have given them 50-50 chances. But we failed; Sachin didn’t deliver on that particular day and the Indian Cricket team history that could have been written with golden feather never took off. Though we lost but he was the best. Collecting the player of the tournament award and setting yet another world cup record for most run in a single tournament proved his domination. But collecting so many accolades really makes him happy? Yes but not 100% because he is a champion and from his childhood has dreamt of collecting the highest prize in the world “The Cricket World Cup Trophy.”

Two months and the whole world will witness the Ollie – Ollie of Cricket tune. Being regarded as the hunter in home conditions a Team India is the pre tournament favorite. But this doesn’t mean they can be world champion. A bizarre move can ruin their party at Wankhede. Nothing can be taken so lightly as “simple can be bumble.” And this time “Little Master” wants the trophy badly. If Dhoni’s team can present him with the highest honor, it’s for sure tears will roll out from his eye but that would be “tears of joy.”
