Sachin is a great player… I pray for his good well-being. But folks, lets try and see the reality. You might think he is 33, but for me, he has crossed 43 .
Sachin has carried the enormous pressure of indian batting single handedly for atleast a decade.
How did he handle it? Every ball he defended, he made doubly sure that there was no chance for him to get out. When he hit a shot, a read the ball twice over after delivery, and put twice the amount of power & heart so that it stays hit!
So naturally, he is mentally + physically drained, not because of the number or runs he has scored, but because of the pressure he has been through. I cant imagine any cricketer live up to the expactations as he has right from the age of 15 to 30!
Now, he might hit an occasional ton, but more is expected from a front line batsmen.
So lets be prepared for the End of the Tendulkar Era. He is ‘the best’ thing that has happened to Cricket, specially Indian Cricket!
