Sachin Tendulkar deserves to be commended for bringing India close to the targets than criticised for not winning the match off his own bat
Sachin Tendulkar has faced the accusation of not being a match-winner by a section of the cricket fans. Only those who view things superficially can make such allegations. The fact is, only because of his tenacity and skills India lost gracefully many of the matches — especially in the 1990s — that is cited as an example to lampoon Tendulkar. If anything, it’s his teammates who let Tendulkar and the team down at such moments. There have been many instances where India, as a team, collectively slipped being in advantageous positions. Tendulkar’s crime was making a match of it and not going down collectively with the team.

Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell: Why Rahul Dravid didn’t get an equally deserving reception
The world can be well divided into two — workaholics and work shirkers. Workaholics are like well-oiled mean machines, possessed by anything that keeps them busy, away from the devil’s workshop. But even they enjoy a bit of serenity and respect the beauty of timelessness. They don’t mind stopping to hear the gush of a wave or hold on to give some time to appreciate Van Gogh’s work. They don’t mind sitting cozily on their couch to spend some time with a Beethoven’s symphony or stop the world around them when Sachin Tendulkar is batting in his 90s.
