I dedicate this to Sachin Tendulkar. Right now, I am not bothered about the fate of the first test against South Africa or other details pertaining to this match. I could watch only the highlights of this match and when the news reader said that Sachin was on his way to his 50th century in 5-day matches, I became nervous and switched off the TV for a while but when I switched on, I could see Sachin lifting his bat; simultaneously I could also see a broad smile on the news reader’s face. Yeah, Sachin has reached the much-awaited mile stone….His half-century of centuries! ,incidentally at the centurion ground. Nearly 15 years ago, an expert predicted, “at this rate, Tendulkar would score 82 centuries [ODI + 5 day matches] which seemed fantastic prediction. But Sachin’s contribution far outweighed this prediction, for he is on the verge of 100 centuries. Hats off to Sachin.
Nothing in cricket interests me one bit! But then, when Sachin cracks a record, it’s hard not to sit up and take notice!
Truly – master blaster!
He is one in a billion and century……so 100th century is eagerly awaited by one and all in this continent
