Tribute to Lord Sachin

If cricket is religion then Sachin Tendulkar is GOD. Yes I know it’s a wee bit over the top but then for me and a million other cricket crazy Indians the word cricket and Sachin go together.

I have grown up watching him, cheering him on, crying with him, crying for him, watching with awe how he has created magic on the cricket field.

I remember the only time I met him in 1996 and I broke down, I don’t know why I did, but it was a moment I cant forget.
And today at 2:31 pm IST he broke the world Record for being the highest run getter in test cricket ( he already holds the WR for maximum runs in ODI’s)

It was a moment I missed live by 1 min, I was climbing the stairs to my apartment when Tendulkar hit those crucial world record breaking runs. But I caught the celebrations and the fireworks, and yes I was left teary eyed aright!!!!

Play on Sachin, Play on God!!!
