Playing It My Way – After hogging much of the limelight recently, Indian cricket hero Sachin Tendulkar has finally revealed his true identity! Yes the ‘˜cricketing God’ for many of his fans.
After hogging much of the limelight recently, Indian cricket hero Sachin Tendulkar has finally revealed his true identity!
Yes the ‘cricketing God’ for many of his fans, but ask him; the reply comes slightly negative. “I’m no cricketing god. I’ve made lots of mistakes on the field.
I’ve loved playing cricket, but I’m normal Sachin and that’s how it should be,” said the ‘Little Master’ told BBC Sport in an interview.
He further adds, “I consider myself fortunate that people like me, people love me. It’s a special thing. I’m blessed I think. God has been kind to me. I don’t want to take anything for granted. I am only thankful to everyone for being so kind to me and it’s never enough.”
Thus, taking into consideration about his recently published, ‘Playing It My Way’; Sachin Tendulkar may rightfully NOT earn the tag of ‘a cricketing god’ afterall!
Here’s why:
God does NOT get injured
Right through his playing career, Sachin Tendulkar has been plagued by many injuries and back strains. The most infamous being the ‘tennis elbow’ in 2004 when the Master Blaster was out from the game for a quite a hefty period. Thus, that might just be enough to constrain the fact that Sachin is NO GOD, since we all know that the heavenly beings don’t get injured! Or do they?
God speaks the truth!
Sachin Tendulkar might have thrown light on the ‘Greg Chappell saga’ or the ‘2007 World Cup debacle’ but what was highly unyielding of the batting great that he did not give much detail about the 2013 spot-fixing saga or the N. Srinivasan issue. We all know, GOD always speaks the truth then….
Gods are vegetarians
Well; Sachin Tendulkar is a hardcore fish lover and is known to eat hog onto fish curries, sol kadis, bombil and Bombay duck! If that’s the case with him, then we absolutely know that our Hindu gods are veggies. So, here we rest our case.
Gods don’t endorse aerated drinks
Over the years, Sachin Tendulkar has been a brand ambassador of global beverage, Pepsi. The batting maestro has made us smile and laugh in his many representations in the brand’s TV ads. Thus we think that, when did GOD endorsed aerated drinks or did have one?
And finally, God is irreplaceable!
When Virat Kohli hopped onto the scene, many critics and pundits likened the Delhi lad to Sachin Tendulkar. Virat might not carry the same stance as Sachin but the former is breaking records after records in the ODI format and with years behind him, Virat Kohli could be the next ‘star’ of Indian team. Well, that dissolved quickly! Incase you are wondering, Gods CANNOT be replaced.
