I've always wanted to write and pen down whatever that goes on my mind. Well, today's technology lets us share our views openly and I'm not quite used to blogging and this is my 1st blog . So, forgive me if you get bored.
Recently , I was watching the India - New Zealand Test series and being a die-hard Sachin Tendulkar fan (well, who is not), I was really sad that Tendulkar could not score well in the series. There have been plenty talks going on about Sachin's retirement and whether the Legend should retire now or no.
Firstly , I would say to all who are quoting that Sachin should retire that if you watched him play closely , he was in quite good form and was hitting the ball well except for a few instances in which the ball swung unpredictably. For instance, when he got out clean bowled in the 2nd innings of the 2nd test, he had just hit a trademark Tendulkar straight drive that mesmerises you everytime you see it.And the next ball , he played across the line which got him out . In the 1st innings also, he did played across the line and fell to Doug Bracewell . In the 1st test , the ball that took Sachin could have got any other batsman . That was an absolutely brilliant delivery. So, if a Legend like Sachin Tendulkar doesn't perform in two tests , why do people make such a fuss about it? Why don't people see that Gautam Gambhir has not been performing,Virender Sehwag hasn't done much in the past few tests. Then, why target Sachin only?
The Legend has spent his whole life playing and admiring the game. Its his passion and his life and no one can tell him when to quit or when not to.
Then, people talk about his age . That he is nearing 40, his reflexes are getting weak so on so on.
I completely agree that reflexes slow down when the person nears 40, but this is Sachin Tendulkar we are talking about here. The Legend whose reflexes didn't fail him last year when he scored two brilliant hundreds in the World Cup last year , when he blasted in the IPL . I think he is not even in bad form, I think he has been a bit unlucky. He hasn't played that many tests so that we can judge his form. Even if he is in bad form I say which player is not. I do not agree that age is having an effect on Sachin Tendulkar. Not that much.
I think Sachin should also be included in the ODI squad. He needs to play the game frequently on the international platform.
Sachin is a demi-god . No person can ever match the records that he has made, the amount of cricket he has played and what he has done for the country. This legend has never played for himself, then why this retirement fuss ?
Now we are all talking about Sachin's retirement and there are people ( I don't know why) who want Sachin to retire. I tell them that once Sachin retires , they do not know how much they are going to miss him.
I cannot imagine not seeing Sachin play .
Finally, it is the Legend's decision when he wants to quit and we are no one to give any advice.
I am no one to say anything about Sachin's retirement.
I am sorry if I have hurt anyone's feeling . As it is my 1st blog, please give me some reviews
Thank you for reading and wasting your precious time on me.
