Sachin the one word which did bring many Indian fans for cricket and this promoted the game in the densely populated India. He inspired many to choose cricket as profession including Virendar sewhag and Yuvaraj singh. Sachin Tendulkar's records and his centuries in world cricket is ammaseive and unimaginable.
Many fans including me just watch cricket just for his appearance.
Though his story like this, there are some negative words on him from fewer side. Those includes the following.
01. Sachin play for records.
02. Sachin miss to score in crucial matches
03. If sachin scores century then the team loses.
But these words really hurts me like any fans or cricketer who knows the cricket professionally and heartedly. I just tried to find answers for these kind of negative image of sachin.
01. Sachin play for records.
If sachin had played for records, then how he got these much of fans…? Did he got this master blaster image without entertaining fans … I don’t think so.
I have seen many matches(If I am wrong all matches) in which sachin is there in center he plays for win and if he is there in center the opponent team never can relax that’s the truth.
02. Sachin miss to score in crucial matches
Though Sachin is treated as God by his fans, he don’t have any Super powers. He has only the best batting skills and dedication. And since cricket is one ball game, means if god makes small mistake he need to got out of the ground, there is not treated as God by umpires.
And some people start saying he always miss in finals. Lets take example of this 2011 world cup. Sachin scored 50’s in quarter finals with Australia and Pakistan. But he scored only 18 runs in finals. Here people forgot his runs in quarter and semi but they speak about this failure in finals. The cricket experts believe the quarter finals and the semi with Pakistan is the toughest match of this world cup and sachin scored in those matches. So let those people realize it.
3.If sachin scores century the team loses.
Again another mis quote is “.If Sachin scores century the team loses” . This is not acceptable it hurt Sachin and all his fans. Let see his centuries and how he contributed for the vicitories.
The best example is last world cup in which Sachin scored 2 centuries and india not able to win those matches. But thing is India crossed 300 on the occasions, the middle order failed on both occasions to get the runs in death overs and bowlers failed to depend these big totals And blaming Sachin for these loses is just an foolish thing.
Still now sachin scored 48 centuries in ODI and out of this india won 33, lost 13 , 1 match tie and 1 no result.
