Sportstar archives: Sachin, a joy to behold
The HinduSachin Tendulkar brings you joy only if you are a cricket fan, sitting far away from the scene of action. Wasim Akram, the champion bowler, feared by all, had once described Tendulkar as the “greatest batting arsenal.” The Pakistani was amazed at the range of strokes this little dynamite could produce with remarkable ease. “India must win,” is his philosophy and this commitment is what makes Tendulkar a fierce competitor and a successful batsman. It keeps the spirit going, for, he is the best in the business,” said Warne two days before he walked into ‘Tornado Tendulkar’ at Sharjah. From a wonderkid, Tendulkar has graduated into a man so powerful in international cricket that they are hailing him as the “best batsman” in the business today.
