Congratulations, Sachin! |

The Mirpur cricket stadium in Bangladesh shall verily remain a pilgrimage for cricketers and crickets lovers. One swallow does not make a summer, but one Sachin Tendulkar makes Indians to sit up in great admiration to celebrate his 100th century in International cricket. If George Bernard Shaw would have been alive today and watched Sachin glancing Shakib al Hasan for a single to complete a hard earned century in Asia Cup at Mirpur stadium, Bangladesh against the hosts on March 16, 2012 he would have withdrawn his infamous statement, ‘11 fools playing in the middle and 11, 000 watching’ for it was not just 11, 000 but perhaps multiples of that number cheering across the world for Sachin’s superhuman effort. I was specially surprised to read accolades coming to Sachin from Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachan, Bapi Lahiri, Swami Ramdev ji who are equally charmed by this little master. Congratulatory notes by political stalwarts including PM, several CMs and others are issued by their Personal Secretaries, whereas the artists have issued these words personally. We take great pride to congratulate a man who has stretched not only his sinew but his imagination to achieve what shall remain a dream for generations. Like Albert Einstein told of Gandhi that generations to come will not believe that such a man walked on the earth, the same will be true for Sachin, too. That is what Amitabh expressed with great emotion, ‘… goes where no one ever has, or ever will.’ Great cricketers like Viv Richards, Adam Gilchrist, Mathew Hayden, Greg Chappel, Javed Miandad, Anil Kumble, Saurabh Ganguly, Chandu Borde, Dillip Vengsarkar, Javagal Srinath and many more have gone ecstatic to say words in praise of Sachin. Hearty congratulations to Sachin who has made millions clap for his astounding performance. We wish him more successes and more and more accolades to come his way. May his journey be longer in the game of cricket! The Mirpur cricket stadium in Bangladesh shall verily remain a pilgrimage for cricketers and crickets lovers. |
