He finally did it ! The news sent chill to all my bones. I grew up watching him, discussing him, watched his first international, watched him on first tour hittng 4 sixers against Abdul kadir in a over and when the match finished, he running from ground to pavellion to avoid crowd. Those pictures stuck with me forever.
Even before that followed the news about him during his ranji triumphs. I remember when he was just a teen and playing for India, we used to feel proud when foreign commentator will comment about him. A rare proud feeling of being Indian !!
I saw him twice in life in person. A normal guy with extraordinary passion and skills.
I will request people who only look for count of wins, sometime switch on TV or go to stadium just to watch your favorite player playing, watch every ball he defends and hit. You will enjoy more than the win ! try it !
With sports being a weak spot for India in international arena, Achievements by Sachin should be cherished for ever !
Gone are the days when we used to keep magazine cuttings , but this news is worth keeping in our life albums.
