Sachin Tendulkar: Glittering Cricket Star of India

Essay No. 01

Don’t take up the captaincy young man. It will wear you down, said a voice from the crowd during the Indian tour of England when Sachin was due to become the captain of the Indian team.

All eyes suddenly darted across the middle-aged man who had spoken those words. There was no break in Sachin’s motion of the hand as he looked up and smiled “Nothing wears you down as long as you enjoy doing if’ replied the heir apparent to Mohd. Azharuddin.

The prophecy of that faceless stranger in the crowd came to be true. Today Sachin Tendulkar is the most popular cricketer in India. A boyish person led the Indian team into the 21st century successfully.

Tendulkar’s talent and perseverance didn’t come easy. His patience was tested by his will to win. But what matters most is Sachin’s positive frame of mind and an insatiable hunger for cricketing glory. In recent years of consequent defeats of India in the world cups, the mood in the nation became somber, and the fans of the Indian team turned frustrated, Sachin issued an appeal not to lose courage. According to him what the Indian team wanted is best wishes. Sachin has the guts to instill self-belief of turning the table in the last hour.

Ten years ago Sachin Tendulkar’s name did not ring a bell. Now it beats a fatalistic drum that has been the death knell of many a bowler. No cricket-loving person forget that clouded day in Pakistan in the 1989-90 series when Sachin was being continuously beaten by Abdul Qadir who had not heard of this young man’s battling qualities. Qadir challenged him to hit his ball for a four.

Sachin smiled and said you are one of the world’s greatest spinners. How can I hit you for a four? What transpired on the very next delivery is something Qadir would not like to forget for the rest of his life. Sachin smashed him for one of the most elegant and scintillating series of his. And in the next over when the fiery Akram came to bowl, treated him with scant respect. By the end of the day, both Qadir and Akram did not know what had hit them. And by the end of the tour, it was clear to all that Sachin Tendulkar was soon going to become any bowler’s nightmare.

In 1992 on the eve of the world cup cricketing extravaganza, the Indian selectors had to decide the captain for the tour. One to all knew the facts there was not just the world cup but the Benson and Hedges Championship and full-fledged Test series. India had little chance at these tournaments as it had recently been badly thrashed by the South Africans.

Many at that time had felt that Sachin should have got the job for the world cup. Had that happened, he would have been the youngest ever Indian Cricket captain a niche held by the Nawab of Pataudi. But that wasn’t to be. And as the doomsayers had predicted, India lost the Test series and the world cup. Nonetheless, one man had won all hearts—Sachin Tendulkar. So much to that the Australian Cricketer, Richie Benard wrote “He is the only bit of cherub in a pack of powder puffs.”

That was in 1992, today.14 years later the wheel has come a full circle. The cherub is at the helm and a lot of the powder has been puffed off. If one is to go by recent batsman apart from Sachin, who has performed very well and that, too, on the English soil. Thus, along with Sachin, both Saurav Ganguli and Rahul Dravid are likely to form the core of Indian batting.

No one doubts Sachin’s abilities. When he was 14, he hit a tripled century for his school team. At 15 he hit a century in his maiden first-class innings for Mumbai. Before reaching the age of 17, he had become the youngest Indian to play Test Cricket. Before his 18th Birthday, he had become the youngest cricketer in India and the second youngest ever in the world to score a century.

In fact when as a 10-year-old boy he had watched Kapil Dev and his team wins the world cup at the Lords, little did Sachin realize that few years from then he, along with Kapil, would be cricketing hope.

In cricket, so dominated by Statistics, Sachin Tendulkar has come as a whiff of fresh air. Cricket lovers have been watching his performance with awe and disbelief. He has been honored by fans for autographs and photographs.

From England to Sharjah, from Australia to Sri Lanka, and from South Africa to Pakistan Sachin’s firebrand aggression has become a topic of hot debate. Today Sachin having been declared the man of the tournament in the recent world cup has overcome the toughest.

Born on April 24, 1973, the Mumbai lad appropriately idolizes Sunil Gavaskar. He himself started taking inspiration from him at the tender age of 11 at Shivaji Park in Central Mumbai. Coached by Ramakant Acherkar, it was in 1988 that the whiz kid caught the fancy of the cricketing circles of the country. Together with his schoolmate Vinod Kambli from Shard Asharam Vidyamandir, he broke the 74-year-old world record to establish an unbroken third-wicket partnership of 644 runs in the Hans Shield semifinals. In the finals, he capped his performance with another unbeaten triple century, thereby knocking at the doors of first-class cricket.

Now as the brightest star of the Indian team the whiz kid is surely going to have greater glories, considering the potential young Tendulkar has, he might emerge as the greatest cricketer of the century. Indian cricket can now feel assured of a stabilized skipper for many years to come.

Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is India’s and probably the world’s most admired and celebrated cricketer. He has an enabled fan following as large as that of rock stars or great movie stars. He truly is the wonder boy of India.

Bon on April 24, 1973, Sachin Tendulkar burst on the international cricket scene with his debut in a series in Pakistan, when he was merely a boy of 16 years. Before being selected for the national scene he had displayed his talent in domestic cricket at the state and junior levels. In the very debut series, he made people take note of him.

Then, followed his long cricketing career, in which he crossed one milestone after another and piled up runs, half-centuries, and centuries to become the highest centurion and the most run-getter. In his private life, he remained cool, calm, and dignified. No vulgar show of success and flamboyance he indulged in. His serene nature and temperament on the pitch amazed other stalwarts of past, contemporaries and sports analysts.

For the sports lovers, he became demi-god, for youth an icon, and for sponsors a virtual money-spinner. The success never went to his head. He continued to be soft-spoken, affable Sachin, a familiar face to all Indians. He is a team man and the interests of the team and the country remained uppermost in his mind. For a long time, he was the scourge of the bowlers of the world.

In the later years of the cricketing life, Sachin several times was waylaid by injuries. But every time he came back in style after treatment and rehabilitation to the delight of his fans. He has won so many national and international awards that to enumerate them will take a lot of space. He captained the Indian team for some time but it affected his batting. So, he was allowed to continue on as a batsman. He also bowls with good effect when the situation demands. Sachin is a star in both versions of the game —Tests and ODIs, who serves the team as batsman and bowler. In the gloomy scene of sports in India, Sachin shines like a brilliant star to provide a huge consolation.
