20 years not out

When one of the most happening news in India is Sachin’s 20 years if international cricket, then how can I not say something on it. Being an India, as I said, we have cricket in out blood. So, today I talk a bit about the great player Sachin Tendulkar.

Talking about his skills in cricket will be foolish for me as it’s already known that he is a great player and there is no second opinion about it. But then, I would like to discuss the points which could have been reasons for his consistent success.

So many players come and go in the India team, but none made an impact for such a long time. 20 years is a big time, isn’t it? I mean so much change in 20 years and still he is playing at his best, scoring at a very nice rate. There are so many factors which come as blocks in your way and you have to overcome. And, we can see that he did those with ease.

Playing for 20 years takes a huge toll on the body. But if we look at his career, we would hardly find him with too many injuries. This is something which is truly remarkable considering the number of matches one has to play now days. Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar were two players who were known for their fitness. But, at that time the number of matches played was not even half of what is being played now days. So, this is for sure another added pressure. But then he handled that too in a very nice way.

And one more thing which is worth mentioning is the discipline in his life. I mean, he touched the sky with his success. But then too, he is so gentle. We can never see the name of Sachin Tendulkar with any affairs, gossips etc. which is remarkable. It’s true that discipline is very important in life. And that is being showed by the great human being. Yes, even if he retires from Indian cricket, he will be an icon for the youngsters and a perfect role model.
