Once again Sachin Tendulkar is in news and for all the good reasons. He managed to make yet another world record (did you think there was any record left that he hadn't made already!!!) by becoming the first ever cricketer to score a double century in a One-Day international match against South Africa at Gwalior on 24-Feb-2010.
Sachin is no wonder an idol, youth icon and GOD for many Indians who praise him, appreciate him and love him in the purest form. Maybe he is the only person in Cricket history to have broken and re-broken so many world records that it is very hard for any aspiring cricketer to achieve the levels of success that he is attained in his 20 year career.
Recently a political party accused him of being biased when he claimed to be an Indian first and then a Maharashtrian (the Indian state to which he belongs by birth). What was wrong with that? And the legend that he is, he chose to maintain his silence and an entire nation stood up in his support. I am very sure each and every Indian is very very proud of him and adores the way he plays.
You ask any Indian and probably they would all say that he must continue playing cricket for many more years to come, after having already completed 20 years playing for the nation.
In this particular match against South Africa at Gwalior, Sachin made a magnificent innings where he broke the previous world record and went ahead to make 200 runs, with 25 fours and 3 sixes. Amazing is it not? But in between when just a few balls were remaining in the innings and Indian Captain M.S. Dhoni was trying very high to accelerate and collect runs, thereby at times not giving Sachin the batting when he was in his 190s, everyone was getting frustrated. Every Indian had just one thing to say, forget the team total, its already good, let Sachin make the double century.GPS Tracking
Sachin Tendulkar was awarded Man of the Match for this match, well no one ever had any doubt after he played those magnificent innings and for a change Indian bowlers also supported him very well by ensuring that India won the match with a very good margin. But that's not the point, what I want to emphasize here is that Sachin at this point in his career has risen far above any award, any record. What is another Man of the Match award for him!
