Poor MS Dhoni.. He too played an blistering innings of 68 not out in just 35 balls, but with the every six and four he hit, 30,000 spectators in the stadium (lucky them!) and millions watching around the world groaned and cursed, and urged him to give the strike to the Little Master.
Kudos to Sachin for making India proud, not just once but time and again. As much as the records, what is equally appealing - and more inspiring - is the silent determination and the calm resolve with which he faces every challenge. In a world full of pompous airbags, here is a giant who remains humble inspite of scaling the pinnacle of success in every possible way.

It has been famously said that "when Sachin plays, even God watches from the heaven."
That's wrong.
When Sachin plays, God isn't watching from the heaven. He is out there on the crease, wielding the bat.
