MS Dhoni requests Indian media to let http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar score 100th ton without pressure – Cricket News Update
Team India’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 from critical analysis and let him score his 100th International century free of pressure. He has also predicted that the legend will soon accomplish
the historic feat.
Dhoni aired these views in a post-match press conference yesterday. The World Champions beat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and won the opening match of the 3-Test series convincingly by 5 wickets.
Before the start of the underway series, the God of Cricket’s fans had pinned overwhelming expectations with him and he himself was confident of lashing the most wanted hundred. When the rock-star crossed the figure of 70 in the second innings, the hopes
perked up more, but all fervency diminished as soon as he lost his wicket for 76 runs.
However, Tendulkar’s long innings helped his team conclude the game at Day 4. As some of the dejected fans and media analysts were not happy with the situation, Dhoni rose to the scene to defend Sachin.
The skipper said, “We are not under pressure as a team. The media are putting pressure on him. Let him score his hundred and he will do at some point of time. Let him score the hundred without pressure.”
He further told, “If you are talking about the gentleman, expectations from him by the people has been high as (Mount) Everest. Since his second year in international cricket he has been the star. When he goes to a cricket field and score 50, people say
he had not scored runs and it has been like this each and every day.”
Prior to this series, the Master Blaster struggled to score a hundred during India’s tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. The legendary batsman has been endeavouring for this mark since the very dawn of the calendar year.
Now, his worshipers expect him to bag the honour in the 2nd Test, starting from November 14 at Kolkata.
Little Master Sachin, who made his International debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, has 182 Test and 453 ODI games to his name. He has been on top of his game since the last two decades, and has set new benchmarks in the world of cricket.
