Download - Sachin Tendulkar Fan Club

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag might
have arrived ...
But for a school going kid,
who bats in the streets and
the maidans of our country,
he still dreams to be a
Sachin Tendulkar!
Sachin's stance, style of
play is what every kid on
the streets of India wants
to impersonate. Everyone
wants a slice of the little
genius. We found Sachin
over 20 years back as a
prodigiously talented
teenager; even our mums loved him. The curly hair, the
boyish looks, he was the kid in a man's world.
In the 1990s, Sachin became synonymous with the Indian
cricket team. When Tendulkar would be dismissed early in an
innings the spectators in the stadium retreated, and the ones
watching at home switched off their TV sets.
For a million Indians, the word Sachin spelled hope. Sachin
was also the only Indian batsmen whose game did not falter
when playing on the hard and bouncy or seaming tracks
abroad. He was at ease on all surfaces. He was one Indian
batsman, whom we knew would never flinch in front of
bouncers or
short-pitch
bowling. In the
1990s the Indian
team did not win
any Test matches
outside the subcontinent,
and
the only
consolation would
be a Sachin
hundred on
foreign soil.
Away from Tests, Sachin's attacking style of play made him
an exciting proposition in the 50-over version of the game.
Every time he was called onto bat, the expectations surgedanything
less than a hundred was deemed as a failure. In the
ODIs, Sachin played a number of memorable knocks, but one
of his innings stands out. Remember the 'desert storm' in
Sharjah in 1998, when he single-handedly took the Indians to
the finals of the tournament, and then followed it by a matchwinning
innings in the same. He psyched the Australians then
and simultaneously mesemerized us.
But for the champions, the real test is not only the numbers
but the spirit as well.
SACHINISM INSIDE OUT- E MAGAZINE - AUGUST EDITION
August 15,
2009
Just days after his father's funeral death, Sachin returned to
score a century in World Cup
England 1999. Such is Sachin
Tendulkar.
The hundred that was dedicated to
his father was testimony to his
focus and a tribute to his
commitment towards the Indian
cricket team. In 2003 World Cup
when the cricket fanatics were
seething in anger, Sachin
Tendulkar was called upon to do
some firefighting on behalf of the
team. When the master spoke, the nation listened, as he
asked the fans to keep their faith.
In the next few games India worked a turnaround chiefly on
the back of some scintillating knocks from Sachin.
The beginning of this decade saw the younger brigade in the
Indian team come to the fore. As for Sachin, he never grew
old, yes the bones creaked much more, and tennis elbow
injury kept him down for almost a year. The master though
never got tired of making centuries. After surpassing Don
Bradman's record of 29 Test centuries, Sachin is now at 42
and still counting for more. He is also the highest run maker
in both Test match cricket and ODIs.
From a child prodigy to an institution of the game itself,
Sachin has walked straight into the hearts of his fans and his
team members alike. He is the senior member now, a person
to whom everybody looks up to for all sorts of advice.
Be it a technical flaw in the batting style of a way to deal with
all the pressure on the cricketing field, Sachin Tendulkar is
the man-to-go for all the members of the team. On the field
or off it, Sachin soothes the nerves of his team members, by
constantly joking and squeezing in humour in the tense
dressing room atmosphere. The master is enjoying the
success of the Indian team , something which he missed
doing during the 90's.
For the fans, he is the cricketer for
whom kids have bunked school, the
office-goers have feigned illness.
After a hard day's work he is the one
guy who has lit up the faces of the
common man, with his breath-taking
performances. Everyone relishes
Sachin Tendulkar. His game, his
smile, his humility has charmed one
and all. At the age of 36, Sachin is
still playing with the same passion,
the same hunger that he had when he first held the bat to
thrash a turning or a swinging ball to the boundary. All we
can say is may the good work continue for a long time in the
future. India@62 loves Sachin Tendulkar and asks for more!
We Wish You All a Very Happy 62nd Independence Day
