Well the world is going berserk with the Master Blaster
retiring, here I am analyzing about why on earth should the youngsters become
like Sachin Tendulkar. If you think its because of his technique, then no. I could
jot down five major reasons for the same:
1.
No one including the selectors would have the
guts to ask him to retire: First of all with all due respects to him, his
larger than life image, no selector in India, has posses the guts to ask the,
master blaster to retire. If you
actually sum up the experience of the selectors from all the five zones, North,
east, south, west and central, it does not even come to a couple of decades. Mind you! Even the selectors become Toothless Tigers before the God.
2.
Could sustain for more a couple of decades despite
5 centuries a year: Now here is another
one! Sachin is undoubtedly a great batsman and has hit 100 centuries both in
the test and ODI’s. Master Blaster has been in the circuit for 24 years now. Which
means he has scored approximately 5 centuries a year. According to me, if a player can stay in the
team by merely scoring 5 centuries in a year, every budding cricketer would
want to be like him.
3.
Could create a divide Mumbai v/s Sachin: Last
year when Mumbai played Saurashtra in the finals at the Wankhede and when it was the openers of Mumbai who came on
to bat, the whole stadium encouraged the openers of the batting side to leave
the crease, just to see Sachin’s batting.
4.
Could hold on to a place in the domestic team
which could actually belong to a youngster: Here is another one, the God of
Cricket can walk up to the domestic circuit and not only play a match but also
occupy the place of a youngster.
5.
A huge turnout despite expensive tickets:
Lastly, despite the tickets being unavailable and overpriced, they (the budding
cricketers) can expect a huge turnout.
