Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman in the world by popular votes. He never looked behind after his debut in the 1st test at Karachi in 1989/90. I am not telling that cricket is an individual game but Sachin Tendulkar is a batsman of such class who can change the complexion of a match. Still Sachin is rich in reflex . When Sachin is on play there is no cricketers in sight. His batting technique is combination of power, elegance and timing. Remember his any late cut from top of the Stump.
54 hundreds in international cricket are in the bag of Sachin Tendulkar. 25 in test match and 29 in one day international . He is the first player who has crossed 10000 run barrier in one day international. In test cricket in 84 match he has scored 6919 run with average of 57.18.Sachin has got his 29th one day hundred on 4th July in Harare. In last triangular series in Zimbabwe Sachin was the choice of man of the series.
But Sachin is not going to Sri Lanka tour with Indian team due to his injury. He will miss major part of the series. There may so many young talented players in the team but it is very difficult to snatch a victory without Sachin. It is big blow to India and our misfortune.
