evening of 05th Nov'09.... as i came back from office 'early' (around 6:45pm) as per my dept's standards.. i switch ON tv... Prabhu needing just 1 run to complete 17000 runs in ODIs... all the Hyderabad fans on the edge of the seats...and whole of India praying for Legend (just wondering how busy God is kept when Sachin bats) ... as the little master gently steers the ball on the leg side..runs a comfortable single...this is it...the crowd erupts with joy... their prayers heard... what a moment!!
having completed landmark 7 runs on that day... now it was time to unfold the old Sachin.. the Sachin i knew when i was a 9-10 year old kid - opening batting for the first time in NZ and hammering the bowlers... that was it.. that knock was enough for me to become a Sachin Bhakt...
as he play's each and every cricketing shot in the book... it was an delightful evening... a pleasure to watch sachin the way he batted... austalians very completely lost in the aura of this man... with Ponting not leaving any bowling option left... and suddenly the target of 351 looked like 200... though India could not finish off in the end.. but it as Sachin's day.. scoring 175... more than half of what india scored... a bliztering knock.. the knock that would be remembered for a long long time... Thanks Sachin!
I know you were trying to impress my langotiya who was supporting you..sittin in front of TV...from your city...mumbai..
One fine day when you decide to hang your boots.... i will miss cricket!
