Of the innum
erable accomplishments that Sachin has achieved this one is the rarest of them all. Sachin has become a grandfather…!
…Well! That is what his team mates have nicknamed him
And a grandfather he is-with his experience, with his records, with his achievements, a rare feat which people do not achieve at the age of 36.
It started with Yuvraj, who praised this maestro for his longevity in performance, for his indefatigable zeal, for his insatiable desire for perfection, and for being able to sustain the wears and tears of 20 long years.
“Even at this stage, he wants to improve with every game. For him, there is no end to getting better, no matter whatever you have already achieved. He is an amazing man and I don’t think any other player can go on to play for 20 years or more like he has,” said an overexcited Yuvraj.
His team mates are tired of planning celebrations for him. With every spectacular performance, he has made a new record. With 12777 runs in 159 Test matches, 16953 runs in ODI’s, he holds practically all records in batting since he has been playing from 1989.
And now he is just 47 runs away from breaking his own record.
For him there is no stopping, as there is always room for improvisations.
