The 200 Not Out creates the New chapter for cricket lovers all round the world.  In Simple Words it was simply awesome.

As a kid all i knew about cricket was if sachin is there India will win..  As i grew up and learned the rest of cricket i felt i’m really fortunate to be in this era. Now as a youth i’ve got my biggest dream to meet Sachin Tendulkar in real life . and still i know for India  Cricket Means Tendulkar ..

He is not just a genius on field but off field he is one of the best Indian Citizen you will ever find. a true gentle man as everyone calls him.  For India  He is the youth Icon for Past 21 years. whenever i have start saying about Sachin Tendulkar my mom who never sits and watches cricket makes the comment..  Learn From Sachin. She never meant cricket but his gentleman-ism.  I feel thats the biggest success about sachin tendulkar.  For many elder ladies like my mom  he is still an innocent teenage boy who plays cricket wonderfully.   My Aunt still switches of Cricket match on TV when Sachin loses wicket. so much they still believes in the master batsman

A Lot of tweets were flowing in for sachin tendulkar and one was interesting.

@kapoorkkunal: I finally know what god really looks like!! He is about 5″5, maharashtrian and plays cricket!! Tendulkar bapa morya

@NawelE : Reducing the number of atheists in India since 1989 – Sachin Tendulkar!

@codevalley: Who said sachin is ageing? The only thing that is ageing is his number of tons!

@raghuonrails: I think India should have a 200 rupees note now with Sachin embossed on it.

@esunil “There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One #Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others.” ~ Andy Flower

@the_turrtle: The number 200 should consider itself lucky that it has the name TENDULKAR associated with it .. #sachinisgod #sachin

@TweetPradeep Check this out : “Sachin Tendulkar” is an anagram of “Unshackled Train” #sachin200

Sharne Warne says “glad I’m not bowling to him today hahaha” @warne888

and mine @zeqox: Sachin Tendulkar Doesnt need Bharat Ratna .. becoz he himself is the Bharat Ratna

A Salute to the Master Batsman

A Salute to the Perfect Indian

A Salute to the Perfect GentleMan

A Salute to the innocent cricket lover

A Salute to My Hero

A Salute to Cricket GOD

All Salutes to SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR

I remember reading an article in a newspaper (dont remember exactly if it was indian express or The hindu)  in which quoted Steve Waugh (If I remember right) commenting Virender sehwag would be short lived in international cricket. It was early days of sehwag’s career and he had become the crowd favorite with the boundaries flowing of his bat.  The comment above was made when some ad agency consulted the commenter for advice on making an ad deal with sehwag. Sehwag was a the blaster for Indian ODI team then..  little did everyone knew he is going to be one of the ever best test batsmen in the history of the game.  No One actually predicted a future for Sehwag in Test Arena. But Looking back History teaches everyone guessed absolutely wrong.

There was a time in Indian Cricket when Indian Batsmen found it hard to score a double centuary.   Dravid, Sachin etc  scored double centuries but Sunil Gavaskar’s decade old record of 236 was always intact.  Then came Laxman’s 281 that revolutionized Fate of Indian in Test Cricket.  Then came a flurry of huge scores from the Indian Batsmen.  But Still a Triple Century was missing.  Mr Demolisher Sehwag was the god’s choice to be India’s First Triple Century maker  and rest is history. First against Pakistan at Multan and second against South Africa Last year

In the Second test match against Srilanka when sehwag was out for 131 it was the first time in last six years that he got out under 150 after scoring a century.  Doesn’t that sound awesome?

Sehwag Became the 2nd fastest double century maker in test Cricket. Do any of you remember the conditions under which Nathan Astle made the fastest ever double century? with an injured Chris Cairns on other side and a great last wicket blast.  Surely if  sehwag was under such a circumstance i bet it would be the bowler’s biggest nightmare ever.   weeks before that Gilchrist had struck the fastest ever double century which everyone talked about with huge surprise. Check now. Gilli is not in the Top 5 fastest double century makers. but you will spot Sehwag 3 times in the top five.

And Now today he has become the Indian batsman with maximum number of 200+ scores. He also bagged the top 3 scores by Indian batsmen in test cricket.  Only Bradman is there above him in the list of Maximum double century makers and he jointly holds record for maximum 300+ scores. 16 more Runs tomorrow and Sehwag will again rewrite History books ; scoring above Sir Donald Bradman and Brian Lara.

Wishing Sehwag all the very Best and praying for him to break Lara’s World Record of 400 runs.  God Bless you Sehwag.

Seeing People Like Sehwag batting who can say test cricket is dying.. even with huge scores the results are now possible in 5 days time

Sreesanth is known more for his too aggressive behavior on field  than his bowling abilities. He is  Still a very good bowler  praised by every legends like Wasim Akram  of cricket. He has been out of the international cricket for more than a year now.  Things were never going well with sreeshanth.  Everyone thought it is the right time for him to get back on the team after team India’s horrible bowling performance at the champions trophy.  But sreesanth seems to have other plans. He again created problems . This time in the Irani trophy match at nagpur.

It is too sad to see a player who has immense talent like him sitting out of the team for his behavior.

In the Notice gien by BCCI they said

“….You are hereby given a final warning to ensure that you do not violate the BCCI Code of Conduct. Any repetition of such behavior will be dealt with severely by the BCCI, including suspension from domestic cricket matches. …As an international cricketer, you have to set a good example for the youngsters who watch and follow the game. We have to bring to your kind notice that you have been repeatedly violating the BCCI Code of Conduct and your behaviour on the field is against spirit of the game…”

I hope his parents will help him to understand his mistakes and will correct them as early as possible

Yesterdays Cricket Match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders once again prooved the Old is Still Gold. The Whole Of IPL2 is seeing the top class performance from the Elder players rather than younger player. Talking about Twenty-20 everyone expected the Likes of yuvaraj, sehwag, etc to fire rather than the old master .  But the first phase is prooving it the other way. Hayden, Dravid, Sachin, Jayasurya, Ganguly, Gilchrist, Gibbs, Shanewarne, Kumble, vettori, Muralitharan etc prooved their worth to play the T20 matches.

The Talent and Experience is more than anything else in any field not just Cricket field. That is why The proverb says OLD IS GOLD. and “all those glitters might not be gold” you have to proove you are a gold. sachin and the above gang has prooved it through years of their presence in international arena. I hope they carry on.

IPL 2 is getting tougher and tighter. I dont think a fighter of the kind of shane warne will let his team go down easily. and Young brains like Dhoni desprate to prove their captaincy and talent will make the matches more interesting.(at least i hope so).

Just got up after seeing INDIA win an amazing twenty 20 cricket match against srilanka. the match almost slipped away from india, but the pathan brothers had different plans. A great 8th wicket partnership of 59 from just 25 balls under lots of pressure.. that was truely incredible.

i’m really proud to see india even after losing 7 wickets was able to chase down the big target.  but top order collapse must be mended seriously.  we saw a collapse in the t20 match against australia . with focus on the t20 world championship soon coming up. we should  correct the issues with the top order collapse otherwise it would be dangerous..

once again congrats to irfan pathan and yusuf pathan for their valiant effort
