If Cricket is Religion…

Sachin Tendulkar (Thalaivar), today, guided India to one of its best test wins for a long long time. The series win against australia was exceptional in its own significance, but to chase 387 in the fourth innings and win by six wickets is something truly fantastic. Sachin, for the umpteenth time, has silenced his critics and Yuvraj has also to an extent substantiated his inclusion in the test team with a brilliant knock. It was a superb feeling to watch it on TV itself, Sachin hitting the winning runs and bringing up his century, Yuvraj lifting him into the air, and the khaki-shorts clad groundsmen hurrying up and being the first to congratulate Sachin. Sachin himself ranked this knock among his very best, olarified a bit when asked about the significance of this test match after last month’s terror attacks, but made his point nevertheless. Dhoni, was as usual, his composed and awesome self when speaking as the winning captain. Sehwag was rightly credited for setting up the victory with his blitzkreig on Sunday, when he was given the MoM award.

Team India is turning into an awesome unit, both in test and ODI cricket with terrific team effort, and I hope their run continues.

P.S. Dravid should retire by himself rather than being kicked out, for his and everyone’s good. If he produces a good knock in the next test, I will shut up.

On another note, the shot in the pic was an awesome one, the best one in his innings today.

If cricket is religion, _Sachin is God_. There. You know what completes this sentence.
