Sachin the great , we miss you.Some never understand cricket yet talk and analyse about the greats and even list out numbers of their poor thinking.one such example is naveen who will correctly count numbers from 1 to 100 wrongly everytime
1. With sachin in 90s India was only 5th best team in the world. There were no significant victories for india except in India where Anil Kumble’s heroics won the matches for India 2. Until 90s commercial aspect of cricket was very low and just when sachin made his debut commercials increased and sachin benefited out of this immensely as he was made popular by the media and corporates for their benefit. 3. Thanks to the Indian team of early and mid 80s, cricket became poplular in India and Sachin became the beneficiary of this . 4. The other greats of India such as Dravid, Sehwag , youvraj and laxman who produced quality knocks to the Indian side arrived late in the scene by which time popularity was already stolen by this tendu who throughout 90s got knocks that ended in losing cause but did not deter his popularity. 5. Steve Waugh famously quoted, Indians are happy if sachin gets a hundred and the team looses 6. Sachin struggled against quality bowlers such as Mcgrath, Ambrose. Lucky, he never faced West Indian great fast bowlers 7. Most of the knocks of his have come for his records at the cost of the team.
8. Most of india’s victories were caused by players such as Sehwag, Laxman, Yuvraj , Bhajji and kumble 9. Whenever Sachin was the best player in the match, the Indian team would lose. 10. Over period of 24 years of cricket, his one and only good knock was that 98 against Pakistan. 11. His run rate never reflected the team’s requirement and his knocks were agonizingly slower 12. Miserably failed as a captain 13. Sachin selfishly always took the best place in the team no. 4 in tests and opener’s place in the team despite the presence of better players in the team. 14. His huge no. of runs are like dry leaves which do not have any weight. 15. Begged his colleagues to win the world cup for him as he could not win one. Imagine a great player begging others to win a world cup for him. 16. Got special treatment from BCCI and selectors throughout his career. 17. Had wrong priorities in cricket. First his knocks even at the cost of the team and then team 18. Miserably struggled against Mendis’ spin 19. Sachin did not deserve a place in the team on merit atleast after 2007. However corporates who have huge investments on Sachin, made sure Sachin remained in the team for their investment recoverly. There are many more reasons but I stop here. So the false popularity and falsehood of Sachin is exposed

he worked hard, he delivered, he achieved, he obviously got paid... also he has given back in some way...
what have YOU done in your worthless waste of a life to pass such a comment.. wonder if any one in your family knows you...
Yeah, i have bashed tendlya for not retiring earlier however now that he has retired what counts is his earlier achievements... He has inspired millions to strive hard even though success seemed unlikely... evrybody of our generation are inspired by him, and he definately doesn't deserve someStupidIdiot Paki/Bangladeshi beggar's ShittyComment

all cricketers get paid.. but how many cricketers give back .. the way sachin tendulkar has given to the cricketing world..!!
Most definitely he will go down as the rarest of the rare players ever to have played the game of cricket. It hurts to see the comments of some in this forum who only looks at his failures in the past 2 years, overlooking the fact that he contributed so much to Indian cricket over the last 24 years. He tried hard to match the expectations of over 1 billion Indian population but unfortunately his body could not meet up the high standards he had set for himself in the past. He deserved every chance he was given in the past 2 years and he has made the right decision to go now without damaging his reputation further. People like SRT will come once in 50 years and I only hope that the young brigade is able apply themselves to protect our reputation in International Cricket. Best wishes to the players who will take over from him.

SACHIN - as a player he wAS outstanding BUT As a captain he was a disaster. his batting techniques was worth emulating, a good fielder and not so ordinary bowler..but lacks leadership qualities..he will be missed in the coming years..

Is it so easy to set records? The fact that very few could only come a distant close to his records itself speaks volume about his talent. Possibly you are refering to his desire to play the 200th test. A player who has achieved so much for Indian Cricket doesn't deserve that, you think?
