Helping hand for Sachin

SACHIN TENDULKAR – The great master blaster. Yes, this is the phrase that was ringing full swing in the hearts of Indian cricket fans. But now?

As a 16 year old little boy, SACHIN made a not so little impression in his debutant series against Pakistan in Pakistan. How can one forget his consecutive 3 sixes against Abdul Qadir. That little boy had won the hearts of many Pakistan including bowling greats Imran Khan and Wasim Akram.

That 16 year old Sachin has now grown up to the age of 32. He has come through the ages with the great humbleness. He has been with great victories as well as failures enthralling the hearts of millions of Indians, getting accolades from cricket experts all over the world. The records he broken, the records he created can not be submerged in the near future. And so, the impression he recorded and the reverence he acquired from the cricket crazy fans can not be washed away in near future.

But what’s happening right now? The same Sachin Tendulkar who got laurels from the fans is getting bashed from the same fans. People are unable to digest the reality that Sachin is getting aged. They still see him as a 16 year old boy with lot of energies and risk taking abilities. But how come it possible; after all Sachin is a human being. Of late he has been in bad form. His eye sight has deserted him, so coordination with his eyes and ball has been hampered. His heart is willing to play good, but not his body. This is the harsh reality. Let’s accept this and make an attempt to fill his heart with warmth and affection. Let's hope this can make a miracle and transform him back to his form. If not let's give a bit applause for all he has done for the Indian Cricket all these days.
