Let’s forget statistics of the game. Or rather let’s forget the game itself. To be there in a limelight for 2 decades is a big achievement. Oh that makes me feel some people are “Super Human “.
There are some extraordinary things this name has done.
Number of people who watched the sensex falling down due to meltdown were less than those who saw a person just making another milestone, isn’t this a supernatural thing?
Being compared to Sensex in the headline of all leading magazine for more than one time isn’t that that supernatural thing
Being there in the covers of magazines million times a supernatural thing
If an article of cricket being written cannot complete without this name isn’t a super natural thing ?
If a national sport cannot be written without this name isn’t this a super natural thing ?
If you can sell biskets, energy drink, coke, cameras , insurance, pens, shoes, cars just by this name isn’t this a super natural thing ?
Being seen as a “GOD” of a sports for 2 decade isn’t this a super natural thing ?
Being in debates of who is best for more a decade isn’t this a super natural thing ?
Living a humble human life amidst this supernatural thing isn’t a super natural thing by
Itself ?
Here are some things which other feel our great Little maestro

"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job."
What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin
"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
BBC on Sachin
"Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium,there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure.Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their lives "
But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds or a game - until Tendulkar was out.
"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.

quoting Shahrukh from an interview
Que: Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh Bachhan. Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh
was leading the queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!!

Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!

This was when he was accused of ball tempering
