When the Indian Premier League kick-started for 2010, one was accustomed to listen to the same old commentators, the same old people in India who think they know everything about cricket and that they are the final authority on the subject – that IPL is not for the ‘old’ cricketers – or those who are nearing their retirement.
And then..
Cometh the hour,
Cometh the man..
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Not just the captain of the Mumbai Indians, which is sitting pretty at the top of the table, but also one of the highest run-grossers of the tournament! Sample this – 303 runs from 6 innings – a staggering average of 60.60 and now his kitty boasts of 7 IPL fifties.. whoa!
If just numbers make up the stuff that pleases the commentators and shuts up the critics, this man has it all! He proves again and yet again, that age is just a number.. a wizard can display his magic anywhere..
And certainly –
Old is gold

Life's Like That 
well.. i do like sachin.. (in the indian team).. but im a CSK fan.. 😀
Very well said yaar..There is absolutely no one like Sachin..be it the national team or the Mumbai Indians..he is numero uno =)
Hey I completely agree with your point. Not only Sachin but majority of players who are performing in IPL 2010 are Oldies which include lights of Kallis,Ganguly,Anil Kumble,etc..It's just old wine in new format.
Yes Niraj.. Of course it's a platform for new talent, but I am glad all the so called 'old' players as the commentators and 'experts' put it, have proved that they are still the very best 😀
Sachinnnn ❤
PS: Pode, The pads he's using are the same ones he uses for the national team 😀
Ofcourse it will never be enough – my love for him is undying :D<3 you Sachin!
kiti lihinar sachin var?? it wl never b enough..!!
Sachin is the God of Cricket..and those who always tried to criticize him; stopped doing it after his 200..he rocks!!!
