There is no comparison between Baichung and the great Tendulkar. Baichung has ditched clubs manytimes by faking injury and has been involved with controversies but Tendulkar is a person without any flaws both as a human being as well as a sports person. Houghton has gone mad and hence his comparison.
They are celebrities apart from that I cant find any similarity between these two in real sporting achievements. A pele/Maradona/Messi/Federer/Nadal/Sampras/ could have been apt if not these greats fall short tendulkar's achievement.. HE IS THE GOD.. None of these greats have the same tag nor huge expectation from a Billion Fans...
