I Take a Bow to the Little Master for Crossing 17,000 in ODIs


I take a bow and congratulate the Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar, for crossing the landmark of 17,000 One Day International runs, first ever in the history of International Cricket. His epic innings of 141 balls 175 (19x4, 4x6) against his most favourite rivals, the Aussies, was a treat to watch. By tragic twist of fate he was not able to convert his record making innings into a match winning innings, as the all too familiar saga of Tendulkar single-handedly fighting the battle for India on a cricket field ended up in a failure. But whatever the outcome of the match, the legend of Sachin Tendulkar moves on and on. Keep going Sachin, even after 20 long years, we are not done with seeing your genius wielding a willow and letting opponents do the leather chase.
