SACH’INnings of master class

We grow up calling him “tendlya” and we still do. 20 years it has been and the master is getting better and better. We still die to watch him hit that straight drive and a glance that takes awe out of anyone in the world. When he’s batting we feel secured and comfortable. His presence make us feel any target is in reach. Yet, he’s not called master only because of his skills, but the sheer humbleness and humility that he shares with everyone.

Yesterday, he became first man on the earth to score 14,000 runs in test cricket, today he’s on the brink of making double ton and I really want them to count 2 centuries instead of 1, there by making him the only player in the world to score 50 centuries. To be frank, efforts required to score next 100 runs is huge compared to initial 100 runs. His dismissal at 98 in last test was unfortunate. However, he didn’t allow nervousness to creep in this time and completed his 49th hundred with a 6. It was Tendulkar’s 11th Test ton against Australia and his 20th score 150-plus score – a world record. (more…)

India outplays Pakistan in a thrilling game

Wait! this wasn’t a final match of the series. But they way it was staged, I was actually waiting for Ravi Shastri to announce Man of the Series. Then I realized it was just another game of the series. Match between India and Pakistan are always more than a game of cricket. It’s game of pride, emotion and extreme importance. Football World Cup may have been successful in snatching away everyone’s attention, but it seems a series of mediocre  matches opened an opportunity and India Vs Pakistan match scored big time.

While the awe inspiring 268-run chase was set up by man of the match Gautam Gambhir (83) and MS Dhoni (56), it was a calm play from Suresh Raina (34 off 27 balls) and Harbhajan (15 off 10 balls) sealed the victory for India. (more…)
