It was not at all fair dear
Sachin that you called it a day all on a sudden succumbed to the comments and
criticisms on your recent performance. With your departure from one-day
international, the essence of the game is lost and we have stopped watching the
matches. It has been 23 years of your splendid performances and virtually writing all the
records in your own name.
You should have treated us with
your beautiful strokes and yet another wonderful one day international before
you have actually called it a day. The millions of your fans are really shocked
to believe that the last one-day you played was your final one-day international.
You should have announced your departure from one-day international only after the
upcoming Pakistan visit to the country so that we all could watch you playing
your last one-day international that definitely would have been your best
departure gift for your millions of fans.
It is the right of any mass of
fans of any game to see their favorite player playing his final match and all
the ardent fans would flow to the stadium and watch their finest sports man
playing his last game and dear Sachin you have denied this special privilege to
us and it is not nice of you and you have left us scattered. The standing
ovation that we would have given you on your last one-day international when you
would get back to pavilion having batted would have been the finest tribute
that we could give you for all that you have been to one-day international and
having made one-day international so special with your long presence.
Of course, you would be playing
the test games but we would be really missing you playing your one-day
international. You should not have succumbed to the arm-chair critics thus to
call it a day so soon. You should have let them comment anything about your
performance, you as a performer you always know your abilities so as we the
ardent lovers of the game. It is not they who neither brought you to the game
nor grow you and it was always your ardent love for the game and the nation.
You always kept the game, a
gentle man’s game and never you have been into any kind of controversies and
you have been so special to all of us. We are really lucky to see you playing
in flesh and blood and to the coming generation with utmost pride we will be
able to tell that we lived in the era of a great legend, Sachin Tendulkar, we
have seen his playing in flesh and blood.
Still so much of cricket is left
in you and you should not have taken a sudden decision to retire from one-day international
and your are indispensable in this format of cricket which kept this format of
cricket widely popular. Even at the very sunset of your career you have written
a recording of scoring 200 runs in one-day internationals in your name so still
there is so much of cricket left in you. We salute you dear Sachin for having
made us to be proud of this great national as well as having always kept the
name of the nation high.
