Boy with a bat in his hand, a smile on
his face and twinkle in his eye came onto world stage at the age of 16.
He was the king of “Maidans” who carried the expectations of billion Indians.
For mere mortals he was superhuman, for troubled
nation he was a ray of hope. For opponents he was a force to reckon with.
After relentless cricket he had managed what once was considered an unthinkable - a century of centuries!
So many things around him changed except for one; his hunger for runs.
24 years on 22 yards was no mean achievement.
But after all these years this baby face assassin who was darling of the Nation, too was faced with a weakness – he was Human!
Only the real one up there could have gone on to play forever!
In just few hours from now Tendulkar will walk for one last time on cricket field at what is considered as home of Indian Cricket, Wankhede – Mumbai.
And come Nov, 18 2013 or may be a day before it will be ENDULKAR!
