Sachin & Indian Cricket


     Human beings are not above or superior from their profession but handful are blessed with luck that they always become focus point despite being part of unit and then everything follows and moves around them, without any doubt presently in India Sachin Tendulkar is top of the list, and he is representing India now for almost two decades but he earn so much name which surprisingly no other cricketer is lucky enough to accompany him in this regard, in spite of the fact ex Indian cricketers like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, B.Chandershekhar  or Bishen Singh Bedi to name a few from huge list were as much backbone of team during their playing days as Sachin Tendulkar. India is playing cricket before Sachin, playing having Sachin and will play after Sachin retirement also, as any player’s career is spread not more then three decades, and after his existence it won’t affect team India badly. Recently Sachin hit hundredth hundred during Asia Cup in Bangladesh against Bangladesh, and then Indian cricket fans celebrate the occasion not less then festival. Congrats to him for touching the milestone where he is waiting another to join him certainly nobody knows how long it will take years, decades or centuries.
     At the same time it is the hard and bitter fact for Indian fans to chew that his record speaks for Sachin only and it not help team India miraculously as far its stats and world ranking is concern. Below is major series after One Day International 2011 World Cup India have played – 
  •  Against West Indies in West Indies, India played fantastic cricket in all the format of games but team was without Sachin Tendulkar. 
  •  Against England in England team lost all the International games but media was debating before the start of series Sachin’s hundredth hundred and other issues off the ground as Indian team were pathetic in England. 
  •  Against Australia in Australia India lost Test Match Series and perform badly in the triangular one day series except in one last game but again media was looking his hundredth hundred and other issues like drift in team members. 
  •  Asia cup in Bangladesh, Sachin hit hundredth hundred against Bangladesh but team lost the game from Bangladesh second time in world cup tournament.
Then after returning from Bangladesh Sachin hold press conference, perhaps want to spill out his anger against his critics which he had from more then eight months and declare that he won’t need anybody’s advise when to retire, I shall keep on playing cricket as long as I am enjoying it, and hint perhaps will be available for next world cup, that is really spirit of a true fighter but with every passing day he is not growing and if one look other side of the story then he is doing at the behest of Indian cricket and deserving Indian young player, below are facts – 
  •  Sachin is playing cricket for more then one and half decades and have played six ODI World Cups, but India was able to won second time last year after 1983 cup, simply because of team performance not any individual performance in the tournament especially Sachin. 
  •  India never becomes number one ODI team in ICC rankings. 
  •  India was number one Test Match team in ICC rankings for few months before last year.
and as per latest test rankings, below are top five teams –
1.      England  118 points
2.      South Africa  116 points
3.      India  111 points
4.      Australia  111 points
5.      Pakistan  108 points
even in individual rankings no Indian is among the list of top ten bowlers or batsmen, even highly hyped cricketer Sachin is at number 12.
    So it’s the right time for fans, Sachin or media to consider if he really exceptional and his inclusion give team India to improve its stats or his record stands for himself only, or simply they don’t want to come out from the dreamland to fact zone.
