Just as the 30000 + at The Captain Roop Singh Stadium were expecting that the MASTER BLASTER will get a huge score on the board. They must have not thought how big it would have been.
For the 1st time in the history of ODI cricket some one has scored 200 runs (not out) in 147 delivery's in a matter of 3.5 hours. Many people had that opportunity but The Gods only wanted that to happen from the Blade of SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR.
The way he played was Mesmerizing. He played in such a way that every Indian was proud of him, he played such, that even the South Africans were proud of him...he played in such a way that the winners were proud of him.....he played in such a way that even the team which lost was of him .....He played in such a way that even The Game Of Cricket was proud of him
I was unlucky that I could not see Sir Don Bradman play.....but very greatful to God that I could see this MAGICIAN play. For me he is The GOD of Indian Cricket.
Different people have different thing to say about this great Indian.....Lets see what some of them said
Don Bradman: I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel!
Please commit all your Sins when Sachin is Batting, because god is busy watching him and your Sins will go UNNOTICED - - - A reporter in Australian News Paper
I have seen GOD he bats at No. 4 for India in test Cricket - Matt Hayden
Tony Greig “This little man is the nearest thing to Bradman there’s ever been.” - Coco Cola Cup (Sharjah - 1998)
Ian Chappell - ” I will always remember that Chennai test match for a lot of good things but I will never forget for as long as I live the moment when Shane Warne came around the wicket for the first time in his entire career and Tendulkar deposited him over the mid wicket boundary for a huge six.” - (chennai - 1998)
Warne: You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway.
Andy Flower:
"There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others."
BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar
When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.
Navjot Singh Sidhu
"India me aap Prime Minister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain..Par Sachin
Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte.."
Anil Kumble
"I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!"
Mark Taylor
"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin" -Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!

“Even my father’s name is Sachin Tendulkar.”
