Brilliance of Sachin Tendulkar

Even though I don’t fully agree with ‪#‎kapildev‬ on his analysis on ‪#‎sachin‬ ‪#‎tendulkar‬, but I agree with him that Tendulkar has not achieved as the talent he had. I have watched all most all matches #tendulkar played in test and onedays from his early days and I remember one of the post match analysis Sunil ‪#‎gavaskar‬ said.


Gavaskar said Tendulkar will play till the age of 40 and will get at least 5 centuries in a year (my memory is he said 5 in test and 5 one days) so 24 years 10 centuries per year. Gavaskar then told the fellow commenter (don’t remember who was it, but a rough guess is Harsha Bhogale) not to calculate the figures as you will get crazy when you see that number. Gavaskar told the commentator that if Tendulkar has not achieved this much when he retires then he has not done justice to his talent as a ‪#‎batsmen‬.

I am not ‪#‎cricketing‬ expert, but my personal opinion is – Sachin Tendulkar was compared to many great crickets in his era and his previous is mainly because Sachin has not played to his potential. if he had then no one will dare to compare him with anyone. so comparison itself is proof that he has not played to HIS LEVEL. By saying that we should also remember the pressure he had as at that time the whole team and opposition aimed only his wicket even though the Indian team even that time had many great players of all time. But one wicket that can change the game made Tendulkar vulnerable and forget his true potential and forced to a cautious approach. Along with that poor umpiring also made a significant change in his records


But the reason why Sachin didn’t not achieve more double and triple centuries is not coz of ‪#‎mumbai‬ circle as kapil dev said. What I believe Sachin Tendulkar understanding of the game is similar to the Zen master’s wisdom about Zen (he was able to predict even in a commentary box is an example) and Tendulkar’s focus in the crease is like that of a meditation, that is why he was able to anticipate the mind of ‪#‎bowler‬, the line and length of the delivery and adjust his reflex.


Due to such an enormous focusing power he was not able to focus more than a limit, as it is well known that it is impossible to spend hours and hours in meditation. ‪#‎Meditation‬ is quick and powerful and has a short span of time. this made him lose the focus and bowlers in his era was that much smart that they can capitalize on lapse of a second in concentration.
