Sachin Tendulkar

I admired Sachin in his initial ten years when he was in a young and fearless, creating fear in the mind of opposition. He is naturally talented and he has fully utilized, all his talents very effectively.  In my personal opinion as with aging he started cutting in undue risks in his play, which might have caused slowness and appeared to many as not as effective as before. Over the years, he has become accumulator having solid at one end, when other rallied around him, atleast in the one day cricket. Also I too felt that he might have retired from One Day after world cup victory, which would have been going on a high. My favourite one day innings of sachin is the 143 he played in a qualifying match against Sharjah against Australia in 1998. Though India lost the match he made India qualified for final and had another century to win the final. Favourite bowling moment is his last over tying up in Hero cup semi final against South Africa
