Sachin Tendulkar dismisses retirement talk – Cricket Update
Indian Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has made it clear that he has no plans to retire from international cricket after finally accomplishing ICC World Cup 2011 glory on his sixth attempt.
The highest Indian run-scorer in the World Cup, regards the final match on Saturday as the ‘proudest day’ of his life after India defeated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 convincingly by six-wickets in the nerve-racking game of the tournament.
Tendulkar dismissed all tittle-tattle about his possible retirement, saying, “No. This is a moment to enjoy and celebrate. It's not about what I'm going to do in the future. This is a special moment which I really want to enjoy and live it to its fullest.”
Tendulkar holds many international cricket records under his belt. He is the highest run-scorer in both Tests and One Day Internationals, as the superstar has 18,111 ODI runs with 48 centuries and 95 fifties to his name.
By making six mega event appearances, the right-hander has already equalled Javed Miandad’s record of participating in the most number of World Cup tournaments. The star batsman also holds the record of being the only player to reach 2000 mark in World Cup
tournaments by making 2278 runs in 45 games and is followed by Australian skipper Ricky Ponting’s 1743 runs in 46 games.
Indian coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527 has put his thoughts forward that Tendulkar will not stop now, as he has been enjoying his cricket in the last few years. With one hundred short of his century of tons in international cricket, Tendulkar commented that World Cup
glory is the main reason that he played cricket. He further put it in simple terms that he never played his cricket for records, but for his country.
"This was the reason why I started playing cricket. I wanted to achieve something, do something for the country. The process has been a long one and I've continued to enjoy my game. I don't see any reason why I need to change anything right now," the Master
Blaster said.
Tendulkar has no plans to say good-bye to cricket, although he had already admitted that this was his last World Cup appearance. It does not matter if Tendulkar makes any further records, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s victory in the recent World Cup has definitely added a
feather in the cap of Sachin’s long and remarkable cricketing career.
