GOD OF CRICKET SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR

 THE GOD OF CRICKET SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR

I am not so good in cricket, but ever since I got the sense to know and understand things

I have heard the name "Sachin" but didn't knew who is he untill I saw him in T.V for the first time and my age is less than

the years he have played cricket.I don't know what you are but for the first time in my life I shaded my tears for someone else.

Thank you for the memories I have and my best wishes for the days ahead. God bless U.

 

Sachin Tendulkar is not an ordinary celebrity. He is an idol, a role model in its paramount sense. A sportsman who devoted all his time to the game faithfully, took the brickbats equally well as the bouquets. ...

Ever since cricket began as a game of the rich and viewed by the privileged few, we have come a long way. The present generation has awoken with the day Sachin first picked up his bat...and since then, 24 years have passed...we have loved cricket more and more.

Sachin gave us all a reason to love cricket, a craze to live for, a dream that has united a country otherwise divided by its various cultures, coutures and socioeconomic classes.

He is easily the most loved Indian, for he's idolized by every budding cricketer; blessed by every grandma; adored by every grandpa; and "a wish to be there in his place" by everyone else.

Thanks Sachin..THANKS GOD OF CRICKET J

"Sachin Tendulkar's  emotional message"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niQIhMq9kWc&feature=share
"Friends please settle down, I'll get more emotional! It's hard to believe my wonderful journey is coming to an end. I've a list of names to thank. The first is my father, who passed away in 1999. Without his guidance I wouldn't be standing in front of you. he said 'chase your dreams, don't give up, the path will be difficult.' I miss him today. My mom, I don't know how she managed a naughty child like me. She just prayed and prayed from the day I started playing the game. For four years I stayed with my uncle and aunt when in school, they treated me like their own son. My eldest brother Nitin doesn't like to talk ,much but he said, whatever you do, I know you will give 100%. My first cricket bat was presented to me by my sister Savita. She still continues to fast while I bat. Ajit my brother - We have lived this dream together, he sacrificed his career for me, he took me to Achrekar sir first. Even last night he called me to discuss my dismissal. Even when I'm not playing we will still be discussing technique. If that hadn't happened, I would have been a lesser cricketer.

"The most beautiful thing happened to me when I met Anjali in 1990.

 I know that being a doctor there was a big career in front of her. But she decides that I should continue playing and she took care of the children. Thanks for bearing with me for all the nonsense I've said (Anjali wipes tears).

 Then the two precious diamonds of my life Sara and Arjun. I've missed out on several birthdays, holidays. I know for 14-16 years I've not spent enough time with you. But I promise you I will spend the next 16.

"My inlaws - I've discussed several things with them. The most important thing they did was allow me to marry Anjali. In the last 24 years my friends have made terrific contributions. They have been with me while I was stressed. They have been with me even at 3am when I was injured. Thanks for being there for me.

"My career started when I was 11. I was extremely delighted to see Achrekar sir in the stands. I used to ride on his scooter and play two matches a day. Sir took me along to make sure I played. On a lighter note, Sir never said 'well played' because he didn't want me to be complacent. You can push your luck now, Sir, since I'm not playing cricker anymore.

"I started my career here in Mumbai. I remember landing from NZ at 4am and playing a Ranji game the next day. The BCCI was fantastic from my debut. Thanks to the selectors. You were right with me making sure my treatment was taken care of.

"Thanks to all the senior cricketers who have played with me. We see on the screen Rahul, VVS, Sourav, Anil who is not here

. All the coaches. I know when MS presented the 200th Test cap, I had a message to the team - I said we are all so proud to be representing the nation. I hope to continue to serve the nation with dignity. I have full faith that you will serve the country in the right spirit.

I will be failing in my duty if I didn't thank the doctors who have kept me fit. Given the injuries I have suffered. They have treated me in odd hours.

My dear friend the late Mark Mascarenhas. I miss him. My current management team WSG, for continuing what Mark has done. Someone who has worked closely with me for 14 years is my friend Vinay Nayudu.

"The media has backed me a lot, since my school days. Even today. Thank you. Thanks to the photographers for capturing those moments.

"I know my speech has become long. I want to thank people who have flown in from different parts of the world. I want to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. "Sachin, Sachin" will reverberate in my years till I stop breathing." (Followed by loud cheers).

The crowd wants more. Sachin has handed back the mic. We haven't seen the last of him here surely.

Sudhir Kumar Gautam, by far his biggest fan, waves the tri-colour. Sachin may not have mentioned his name, but he holds a special place in his heart, you can be sure.

Sachin gets together for a huddle with his family. I'm sure he is preparing for a lap of honour around Wankhede.

And the walk start. Sachin waves the tricolour, his wife and kids next to him and his team-mates behind. It's a leisurely walk but the photographers are clamoring in front of him. It's an army.

Now the special moment. Kohli and Dhoni haul him up on their shoulders! He continues to wave the flag. Memories of April 2, 2011, when India lifted the World Cup right here at the Wankhede.

The entourage slowly complete the lap. The chants of "Saachiin Saachiin" will never cease.

The lap's done. Sachin's back on his feet. People surround him. If you look closely, somewhere in the middle you might spot him. Small in stature maybe, but he has the cricket world at his feet now.

He walks across to the pitch and bends and touches it, one last time

 THE 10 Reasons Why I Hate Sachin Tendulkar...

1. He always plays a brilliant innings

before my

exam and hence doesn’t let me study.

2. Every time that I think of becoming an

atheist, he

gets into the nineties and I have no choice

but to

pray.

3. Every time I take a resolution not to

bite my nails,

he gets into the nineties and I am left

with no

choice but to chew on my nails.

4. He keeps all the records to himself.

5. He makes a lot more money and fame

than me.

6. He costs way too much on ‘super selector’

but since

I have to pick him, the rest of my team

gets

weakened.

7. During a match, invariably when I want

to go to

the bathroom, he hits a boundary and

hence I have

no choice but to sit and watch the replay.

8. As soon as I convince myself that God

does not

exist, he plays a straight drive and proves

me wrong.

9. He brings the whole country to a

standstill

whenever he bats

10. And the last and the biggest reason

why I hate

Sachin Tendulkar because

HE HAS RETIRED 

WE WILL MISS U SIR
