Sachin Tendulkar

No words come to the mind to praise the GOD of modern day cricket on his epic 191* on day 3 of Bangalore Test. Not only he better his previous 177 against Australia 12 years back, but also he crossed 3000 runs against Australia in 31 Tests and scored 11th 100 against them. Most runs against an opposition by an Indian.

For most part of his career, Australia has been a formidable Test team. They dominated the world Tests scenario from 1996 to 2008. Since then they have declined a bit, but they still continue to be one of the very few good teams that play positive, aggressive Test cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar is a modern day epic. Whatever is said about him by lesser mortals like us is always going to fall short of what he deserves as a mention.

May be my share of acronym for him would be a Sachinesque or Tendulkarasque batting for whoever in the future repeats some share of his batting achievements.
