Every innings played by Sachin Tendulkar is special. But this is extra special as he has become the first to reach the 200-run landmark. It is a wonderful performance.
I did watch parts of his innings as I was in and out of a meeting. But it was clear that he was soon going to achieve something very special on Wednesday.
I am really proud to have been able to play alongside Sachin. No other person or player deserves to become the first batsman to make 200 runs in ODIs. Even after playing for 20 years, which in itself is a great feat, Sachin has managed to stay humble and is unaffected by the fame and success. He has remained humble all along and what is equally important is that he has remained dedicated and committed.
The unbeaten 200 that Sachin made at Gwalior is a benchmark for others to follow. Now, there will be lot of players who believe that they can also make 200 in an One-day international. We will wait and see. But I can tell you that only special players can achieve this feat. Not everyone is Sachin. He is unique.
I don’t know if it is right to say that Sachin is getting better with age simply because he was always really, really good from the time he started playing cricket. His love for the game and sincerity for the game is rather unmatched. He still plays the game with the passion of a small kid. He worships the game.
What makes him so hungry for runs is that he is never satisfied. Most people are content with their performances and rest on their laurels. But Sachin has this ability to set new milestones as he is always looking to get better.
Now, I guess only Brian Lara’s 400 is left for Sachin to surpass. I would be really happy if Sachin goes past 400 in Tests. It’ll be nice if he breaks Lara’s record. I just want to wish him all the very best. He is a true role model for everyone.
