Sachin Tendulkar's innings of 136 against Pakistan at Chennai
Thu, November 28 2013
Sachin Tendulkar deserves to be commended for bringing India close to the targets than criticised for not winning the match off his own bat
Sachin Tendulkar has faced the accusation of not being a match-winner by a section of the cricket fans. Only those who view things superficially can make such allegations. The fact is, only because of his tenacity and skills India lost gracefully many of the matches — especially in the 1990s — that is cited as an example to lampoon Tendulkar. If anything, it’s his teammates who let Tendulkar and the team down at such moments. There have been many instances where India, as a team, collectively slipped being in advantageous positions. Tendulkar’s crime was making a match of it and not going down collectively with the team.

‘Sachin Tendulkar commands respect on and off the field’
In 1989, a 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar had toured Pakistan. The first time I watched him bat was during a game at Gujranwala, which was reduced to a 16-overs a side affair. On that tour, he had played Mushtaq Ahmed and Abdul Qadir really well. In fact, during a game at Peshawar, he had smashed Qadir for a few sixes. Those are my first memories of Sachin.
