The master is back!


For those who had voiced the end of the little master's cricket career, Sachin Tendulkar came back with a bang in the DLF cup. The innings against the carribeans in the second ODI was a testimony to that....It's been sometime now since we have seen such a wide array of stroke play from the champion himself. The cover drives and the pull shots were a treat to the eyes and especially the lofted six in the final over of the match stood out!
Having been booed by his home crowd and subjected to "Endulkar" headlines over the past year, the challenge to perform was even more. But the poise with which he handled the situation definitely showed that there are many years of cricket left in his willow. Though it may be argued that India was out of the series before the finals, it is defintely the failure of the team as a whole in the match against Australia. And if the innings against West Indies are any indications, then we definitely have many more days of the cricket fiesta from the Little Master!

Form is temporary, but class, definitely, is permanent.
