The greatest batsman of our time crossed another milestone today. He became the all time second highest run getter in test cricket. He now has 11,183 runs and is only 770 runs behind another great Lara. Add to that his 37 test centuries, 45 half centuries and you are looking at one of best players of all time. Every match he plays now-a-days, he creates at least 1 new record. Who is he??? if you don't know, then chullu bhar paani mein dub maro.
To me Sachin is much more than just a great cricket player. My first memory of a cricket match is that of a 16 year old Sachin scoring 4 sixes in a well known but overconfident Abdul Qadir's over. Then and there, I fell in love with the game called cricket. My friends will testify that the Love is not only still there, but it is also stronger than ever. He has completed 18 years in Cricket, but still has the enthusiasm of a youngster. Even though the body does not have the same reflexes, but the face has the same innocence of a 16 year old.
I hope he plays for many more years for India and retires on his own term, rather than allowing any joker (read selector) to drop him from the team.
CHAK DE SACHIN:)
