Sachin is arguably the most desirable limited over cricketer from India along with Kapil Dev (as a genuine allrounder)and Dhoni (as a WK,captain and finisher).At his prime he was a great batsman,a handy bowler and a committed fielder.But now he becomes even a libility sometimes.He gave up his bowling,became a sloppy fielder and have problems in playing his favourite shots or running between wickets.He made a correct decision not to play T20I 6 years back but still playing the same format for his franchise.Now it is time for Sachin to quit all kinds of limited overs format and focus on test or first class matches only where power hitting or hurry running is not that much in demand.
