Yet another Gem


When I started to write blogs my most of blogs were about travels and last one was on Cricket that came exactly a year back when India lost to Srilanka in ICC Cricket World Cup and crashed out of high profile event. Most of the people around me know my passion about cricket.
Today this blog is about not asking the questions about the man I adore most in cricket but about celebrating what he has been achieving since I have asked question to myself that Is it end of Sachin?
After that dismal world cup nobody was ready to back up cricket and cricketers. Lots of people turned back to this game.But still I was glued to this fantastic game following every bits and pieces of it. Everybody raised questions about Sachin and other seniors in the team. But what followed that is the history now.
Sachin went on scoring tons of runs for India in last year, more than any other player in the team. But he was missing what he loves to do the best scoring hundreds in both forms of the Game. He g0t our in 90s six times in last calender year.
Then last month started the most awaited Tri-Series Aus-SL-Ind. The guys who lost the hopes about Indian team last year said,"Nothing is going to happen with this team. They can not even manage to reach finals." But this team under MS Dhoni have done it. Then same guys criticized that "Final was a fluke but they can not beat aussies in final."

After all this talks came the last night, where Sachin's every critic was expecting a huge failure from him in a Final and specially in a Run Chase looking at his past records.
But the master blaster had different plans in mind. He came out there with positive intent and lead the team to 1st of final win on Tri-series history. In the process India registered 1st win on SCG[Sydney Cricket Ground] and Sachin scored 1st ODI century on aussie soil.
It was a champion's inning.He needed that hundred and more the team needed the win.
Everything fall in place on this perfect run-chase.
Go On Sachin....win the CB series for us. This is the great chance. And tell the World that Last world cup was not end of Sachin.There is lot more to come............
