The Dancing Elephant - Sachin

Is Sachin The Best ... no way ... He is far above from any comparison ... he is not a master ... he is a class in himself , an Indian in his own stride ... and i can say now ... The Elephants can dance ... can dance .. can dance ...


The current version of IPL has brought out the best in the best. With the emerging hot spots and young bloods not coming of the age , the experience and the genius are on exhibit. It is no wonder Mumbai were on losing streak in first half of last edition with absense of Tendulkar. But this side is reckoned with the best of the best. And like Lion sits on the top of foodchain , we have Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar , hitting around like he ever was.

He is not in top form , he is now injury prone , he is declining in age, his enthusiasm is same, but his legs are shaking. Standing taller than his physical appearance , and running faster than his age would, he is scripting new horizons, new leadership, and above all as always breaking all myths he may not fit in this form of game.

It is true no one grows bigger than the game itself , nor does one grow out of the game, but it is not always the case. The matters go out of hands , when the not so perfect point the fingers at one of the most structured cricketer of modern era. An era in which cricketing career are cut short by injuries, he is injuring the critics who claim he should have retired a year ago.

He is blessed with the foresight of understanding the depth of the game, and as such his depths in history books and summits to the top of the cricketing world will stay. The only farewell gift Sachin can give to himself , or expect all others to give him is easy to guess World Cup 2011.

I have dared to , and dared have i wishing to see Sachin holding the WC for India, with most successful WC campaign. That will be the only contention when he stops playing, and i can rest on my seat to watch his gems of innings over and again. Just once more .... like a supernova ... the brightest of them .. Spark with the intensity , all the efforts before going in woods ....

Well, to see Sachin in World Cup 2011 that's anyone can best hope for including sachin. Sachin is surely class apart and so big persona that he has determination to lead his life in his own way. Hat's off to Sachin.
