LION STILL ROARING AS HIS HUNGER FOR RUNS CONTINUES

Many things have been said about  Sachin Tendulkarand his cricketing skills and yet he keeps scoring runs which keeps cricket fans to sit up and take notice.His double century against South Africa was one such occasion.It took almost 40 years after first ODI was played to score double hundred in ODI.Along the way he broke the record of highest individual score in an ODI which stood at 194 runs.

Just few months of his 37th bday,Sachin has blasted all sorts of  factors about age and longeivity in sports.Having completed 20 yrs of international cricket,Sachin is playing best of cricket of his life.During past year he has scored 1,150 runs in ODI with average of  72.37 and 1019 runs in 10 test with average of 78.19.Those who said few years back that Sachin has unusual loss of form - have nowhere to hide.The great Aussie legend Sir Don Bradman had earlier said he was reminded of himself when he use to watch Sachin play.It is not only about his batting but the way he consistently scores the runs and create records.

It is  Sachin Tendulkar who has played 166 tests and 442 ODIs and who has entire burden of nation and expectation  from  whole nation where the game of cricket is considered as religion and Sachin as a god is still scoring run as the river flowing down from mountain.He himself has said its the passion for game and pride for Indian Jersy that keeps him going.According to me there is a terrorist inside this batsmen which attacks the bowler for run ,that keeps alive his spirit for game.By this 200 against South Africa nothing has been left to prove that he is the best .

Whatever be the secrate of his success,we can say he is far from the other.He already holds the record of most runs and centuries in both test and ODIs and all the legends of cricket have been left behind.With 47 test centuries and 46 in ODIs many records are still waiting for Sachin and he can create many of those record which can  be difficult to be broken.
