The ICC WORLD CUP 2011 commencing from 19th February 2011 in three South Asian countries India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The event is very special for Indians because it can be the last ICC WORLD CUP in which SACHIN TENDULKAR will be playing.
Over the last two decades, there is very little missing from the little master a world class batsman he is the Indian run-machine. He has scored more than 32000 runs and 97 centuries in International cricket.
The ICC WORLD CUP in the sub-continent represents the master batsman SACHIN TENDULKAR last chance to set the record straight and he is aware of the events importance. As he says “I still want to achieve something and every one knows that.”
At an award ceremony the little master, added that “India rise to number one in the world test rankings” has given him and Indian cricket lovers confident to believe a cup victory was possible. Though at present India is number two in the one-day rankings and for this coach GARY KRISTEN is to be praised.
SACHIN TENDULKAR is of the view that “GRAY KRISTEN has brought are mark able change in our side.” He found the atmosphere in the dressing room quit different and that has bought all the changes.
SACHIN TENDULKAR, if anything remained constant in his life that is surely hard work. He has devoted his life to cricket for him cricket is not a business, runs are not scrip’s on the stock exchange, for him cricket is an art, the challenge to refine the art of run-making, the goal has always been to rise above the simple competitiveness of sports and to attain some higher ideal.
There is an impression with each milestone; the little master seems to confirm that he is a great ornament to Indian cricket, but not a match-winner if you have a carrier this long, then that is one of the pitfalls. The unfortunate feeling is the impression that SACHIN TENDULKAR doesn’t win matches for India. The little master gets to hundreds, but India loses.
However, we should go through the facts. Out of his 50 hundreds in games the results of the game were as under.
WINS 20
DRAWN 19
LOST 11
------
50
The said results are not negative but the impression will not go away. On one occasion SACHIN TENDULKAR was asked that why don’t you win games for India. He gave a very positive reply that “few of his tens of thousands of runs must have contributed in some way to Indian victories.”
