The final frontier is surpassed....

The Ferozeshah Kotla stadium in Delhi witnessed, what I call as the most-awaited moment in cricket. Yes, Sachin Tendulkar surpassed the record of Sunil Gavaskar by scoring his 35th Test hundred in class and style. What caught my attention was the fact that the past year had been tough for Sachin...there were critics writing him off, there were apprehensive fans waiting for him to score and the media who made more news about his elbow than anything else. Calm, composed and cool..that was his frame of mind when he entered the field and increasing focus as the innings progressed was what everyone got to see. The tension and the ray of hope started 2 build as the last lap of the innings...i.e. the 90-100 range drew close. Adaptability is the key word to describe his position, both on and off field. 19 of his 35 hundreds have come abroad. He changed his batting style, became less riskier and chose to provide solidarity and guidance to the youngsters in the team. For many aspiring cricket-frenzy kids in India, he's a role model. The master blaster has definitely slowed down but the skill is very much intact and what is in store for cricket fans from him remains to be seen. As of now, Tendulkar is happy to let his bat do the talking...

Congrats Sachin...we are indeed proud of ya!!:)
