Sachin Tendulkar Cricketer

Jewel of India

Sachin Tendulkar Cricketer The fans demanded Bharat Ratna. The clamour reached a peak after he scored the 100th international hundred in March. The government, instead, gave him a Rajya Sabha ticket. Fine, he said, accepting it with humility and vowing to fulfil his duty with his trademark earnestness. Sachin Tendulkar is not just a cricketer now. He has allowed himself to be judged not only for the runs he scores, but also for his public service. Indian sports, cricket in particular, now have a voice in Parliament. Probably India’s greatest batsman. Over a period of time he has taken the game to another level and keeps proving his critics wrong. He inspires people to keep striving and to never give up. He is a true national hero.
