Cricket was discovered for some purpose

It is said that all great man become great because it is their destiny.The world will conspire and many will perspire to make You great!! Secret of becoming great is yet to be discovered but its purpose is definitely not concealed.Greatness is a thing which can not be described in words but it can only be felt and discussed endlessly.There are many ways to define a person's greatness.So for Sachin what is it that is making him great not great in fact greatest ever.Do I have the capability to analyze Sachin.NO is a simple answer but what I do have is my sense of perception which I can obviously use it to compare him with others. And when I do that he truly turns out to be a legend.Just use your best to compare him with anyone around in terms of technicalities,adaption skills, delivering with expectation burdened on shoulders,moral character and last but not the least the courage he holds.If he might not be able to surpass him/her he will not be less also.

     A champion who made his passion his own world and eventually became a ruler.His technical skills are far more trademarked and copy booked.I will not go on and write things which more than billions of people are already aware of like most centuries in ODIs and test matches,most number of runs in both the formats etc.I do agree with the fact that statistics really gives a very good idea about a player.But does it gives an overall idea of a sportsman.Its 50-50. He is the only player who has scored a double century in ODIs and that too not out.The quality of inning could be justified by stating the facts that there were no chances offered not even a half one.The wagon wheel which was showed in that match is considered to be a perfect one.There were no edges past the keeper,all the shots were better than previous one.

                            

    The life that he is living, I am sorry common man lives Legends only enjoy, the life that he is enjoying is just like this double hundred flawless with the minimum number of fingers pointing at him and full of good quality strides throughout the walk of his life and just like this inning he still going strong and still surprising people with his ability to still even time.The quality that this person brings to this game is irreplaceable.The quality that this person brings to the game is the quality which he has held on to himself as a human being for all these past 20 years. Sharukh fighting Amir, Mallya firing Charu, corporates having nightmares due to litigation faced by their senior executives, brothers splitting up over shares, fake publicizes to sell products , (इतना  हो  रहा  है दुनिया में और हमको लगता था हम ही सबसे बड़े पापी हैं ! ) despite these news there is always a headline or article where Sachin will find his deserved place, getting accolades from some one or other.What does this do?This brings the belief back that Yes if greatness is destined You will become great just walk the life with all your stamina.Stamina, it is, 20 years completed in a sports and this will go on it seems.This man holds another record of playing most number of years at international level.Many would say he did not even graduate, but every record that he has made has been designed by maestro himself. He has battled the highs and lows of his life and is an architect of his own life.You don't need a degree for that, You should have a belief.

Now it is the time to defense:-

1)Sachin was not a good captain and his form degraded when he was a captain:- I would just plainly shrugg it off by asking "What is his birth year?" Millions of people will jump and quickly answer 24th April 1973 xx hour yy minutes zz seconds aa millisecond.But those who critize wont have the time to subtract 96 with 73 which gives 23. बकवास  करा  लो  बस!!तुम्हे बनायें इतनी उम्र में इंडिया का कप्तान.This is age when most player will struggle even these days that too after so much exposure and even under Sachin's guidance and at that age many wanted him to become a good leader. 

2)Then Why did he not become a captain afterwards:- It is because there was no problem for Indian cricket team in terms of who will hold the position of captain just after that.We had Ganguly,Kumble and now Dhoni.All of them are wonderful players too.Moreover what I feel is that Sachin knows what role is best for him.His role is now to nurture youngsters under his guidance.Ask Bhajji what made it possible for him to strike two centuries consecutively.

3)Sachin did not help Kambli when he was in trouble:- I am sure no one even cared about it.It was meant to be a joke but some how few took it as a serious opportunity to make money.वैसे serial का नाम क्या था जिसमे सच झूठ का पता कर रहा था  मशीन पे बैठा के एक आदमी जिसको खुद नहीं पता वो क्या कर रहा है.

4)No triple hundred in test cricket:- This is the only part which I am also not able to believe myself.But surely Sachin is having this thing in mind and because of my blood group I am sure he will bestow upon us this gift too.

At last for all of You there are few videos which I have gone through over You tube which shows the class of Sachin as a batsman as an all rounder and as a person.

  1. Many of us will believe him to be god, but not see that same miraculous shot he must have practiced thousands of times, before it becomes his habit and later his instinct.

  5. Nice defense about his captaincy stint.. never thought it in this way.. The problem is that when it comes to Sachin, we dont associate any human like inefficiencies with him, often forgetting he was only a 24 year old lad shouldering the burden of a billion junta...

    Nice post..
