Sachin Tendulkar- Man of Records

Truly the master blaster. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has been a true champion since his arrival in international cricket. He made his debut at the age of 16. 20 years has gone by but not a hint of change in his hunger for success. A truly committed and complete cricketer. Someone who has excelled in all formats of the game. His hunger remains ever increasing. He is a role model to every one in the cricketing fraternity.

There is a schumacher in f1 race, a kasparov in chess, a micheal jackson in dance, a dhyan chand in hockey a micheal phelps in swimming. Like wise there is only one sachin tendulkar in cricket and there is no one like him. His records are some sort of unfinished business. He manages to create records that may not be broken for years to come because no one has played this game for these number of years. The feats he has completed over these 20 years are just magical and unbeleivable. Records are meant to be broken but his records are hard to be broken as he is the man of records himself.

At the age of 37 when cricketers are past their prime and are thinking about retirement he has no intention of retiring and he is as energetic and bubbling as a 17 year old. Hats off to his undying enthusiasm and energy..... Yesterday he created the record no one possibly imagined , a double century in one day cricket that no one has ever achieved. 200 off just 147 balls, just imagine the concentration, power, mental strength and skill he possess at the age of 37.

But he is the man of records. lets go through the records he has achieved in his illustrious career.

* Highest run getter in one day cricket
* Highest run getter in Test cricket

* Most number of centuries in a single calendar year in both test and one day

I may have missed some of his other records but the latest and most defining moment
* The first and only double century in one day cricket 200* from sachin's bat.

Need any other reason to celebrate. The one and only sachin tendulkar .... The master blaster.

couple of years ago questions arose that sachin should retire and sachin has answered his critics by scoring a double century which was thought impossible to be scored until yesterday. He has broken that record too.

I think sachin should be knighted soon. This is my tribute to the true genius of cricket, the master blaster.
