If Cricket is Religion, Sachin is ……….

‘TIME’ Magazine on its special issue,“60 years of Asian heroes”, featured Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. As per Time, he is “the greatest living exponent of his craft”. I have my own doubts. The magazine went on saying how Don Bradman, the legendary Australian cricketer, saw similarities in his and Sachin’s play.

Now the issue is not how great is (read was) Sachin but his relevance in the present Indian Cricket team.

The ICC World cup is round the corner and a billion hearts beating hard, is Sachin capable of bringing back the World Cup? Or audience in West Indies will get a chance to emulate the Mumbai crowd and boo him?

What’s his role in the Team?

A senior player who set stds for others to follow?
A moral supporter?
Or just one among 11?

When Andre Agassi, American Tennis Player, retired from professional Tennis media went on asking

Whether Sachin will do what Agassi did?

God only knows……. It’s not all over yet……
