There is lot of hue and cry all over. Somebody says his great services to Indian Cricket must be kept in mind before making such harsh comments. Some people say that whatever he has done for Indian cricket team has always been recognized but now it is high time and he should be removed from Indian team or some people say in more refined way that Sachin should take retirement with elegance. But do you think Sachin carries a small head on his shoulders. He is capable enough to take right decision at right time.
Let us examine the facts, Sachin has not scored big centuries for quite some time but still his average score has always been in the middle, if it was not on top it was not even at the bottom. He had been outstanding batsman for years together, may be his sharp reflexes have gone a little blunt but the cricketing mind he carries over his shoulders is fantastic. We know he bowls well, fields well and can bat well, so why shouldn’t he be used as an all rounder. He should be asked to concentrate a little more on bowling.
I would further like to say that media is commenting on players, they take a player or two as experts and comment on players like sachin, Dravid or Sourav. Those so called experts have been a real failure in their respective lives and they comment on such things where they themselves have performed so dismally. When Madan Lal or Yashpal Sharma comment, it looks very ridiculous. Madan ji was the pace bowler when he faced a bouncer have literally fell on the pitch and Yashpal Sharma ji who got so many chances( I don’t know why?), did hardly do anything in their careers.
I know Sachin is a person, who will always like to perform better and the day he will feel that he is not able to rule he will retire himself without suggestions of any body. As far as people say that Sachin is not playing well or things like that I would say if he is not good drop him from team. And lastly and finally I pray these news channels not to rake unnecessary contrversies to gain cheap popularity and increase viewership of their channels.
