No need to advise Sachin Tendulkar to hang his boots: Dilip Vengsarkar – Cricket News Update
Former Indian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556’s limited overs career is finished, and that he should retire from One Day International cricket before the selectors force him out of the side.
Advocating for Sachin, Vengsarkar said that everyone should stop advising Sachin on this matter, as the cricketer himself knows, when is the right time for him to retire.
The former cricketer said, “There is no need to advise a legend to hang his boots when he himself, I am sure, will do so when the time is right for him to do so.”
Sachin has attained a legendary status in Indian cricketing history and Vengsarkar is a firm believer that it is hard to find a replacement for a cricketer with such a stature.
The 55-year-old, who played 116 Test matches for India during 1976-1992, said that no one in the Indian bench has what it takes to replace the iconic cricketer, so the Men in Blue should http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 with him until a suitable replacement comes in.
“I really wonder whether India has a player of Sachin's class in its midst at the moment. Our bench strength is not at all that solid whereby we can hope to fill the void left by some great players in time to come,” said Vengsarkar.
The 55-year-old held that even after twenty years of international cricket, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 hasn’t lost any enthusiasm and is quite agile on the field. Vengsarkar finds the Little Master as energetic as anyone in the Indian roster.
He said, “Sachin may be nearing 39 years, but I strongly feel that he is as fit and as charged up, if not more, than any of the players playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at present.”
The Little Master has been going through a lean patch lately. In the last three innings, Sachin has scores of 22, 3 and 15 respectively. This sudden slump in his performances has forced cricketing legends like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Manohar-Gavaskar-c91863
to raise the question regarding his future.
The aforementioned cricketers argue that Sachin won’t be able to play 2015 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, so he should focus on Test cricket only and give the younger players a chance to gain experience in ODI’s.
