About Sachin Tendulkar

====================

( Unlike Sachin , Who only knows Only Hindi & a little bit of English ) Sachin & Dhoni is famous only in Northern India , where you have a large Hindi Speaking Population .

He is little known in Southern & Eastern India ( North East ) . He is not an International Star ( Even otherwise , he has too much competition ) . He is big star in Northern India ( & Pakistan ) , since Cricket attracts a lot of money here ( unlike in Australia & other developed world ) .

Answer 1

I don't agree with that! Sachin is liked & respected in all cricketing nations.

Answer 2

untrue

Answer 3

Sachin being a cricketplayer he can be popular in the countries where cricket is popular.  He cannot be expected to be popular among the people who do not know anything about cricket.In that context, Sachin is most popular cricket player in the countries where cricket is popular.

Answer 4

yes what u said is true.

Answer 5

And neither of them are popular in Burkina Faso.

What is your point?

Answer 6

Wow.. kudos to your ignorance. When Tendulkar tours any country he is respected and admired for his talent, achievements, humility and sportsmanship. In a poll several years back Indians were asked to rate who they considered was the person who represented India best. Guess who was the winner - Sachin. When people think of cricket these days, they talk about Lara and Sachin in any cricket playing country. Many cricketers and personalities have come and gone when it comes to India and it's image in the world. Nobody represents India better than Tendulkar and Amitabh. Sachin has been greater and better than most players in the history of cricket. You think of Sachin and people go crazy if he is injured or not performing. For anybody who's religion is cricket, Tendulkar is God for them. He has performed consistently and been humble all throughout his days.

Dunno about Dhoni, he has just started and is popular with the masses but dunno about respect for him. He is hit or miss mostly.

Anand is famous only in europe. Any idea about americas, australia? Anand is popular in chess circles. Russia and former Soviet countries no doubt because some of the greatest names have come from there in chess. When Anand doesn't perform, not everybody cares. Anand is just another chess player. Not a legend like Tendulkar.

And why are you bringing North South into this. You must be one of those Southern HATERS who cannot digest the fact that Hindi is widespread and you cannot embrace it. Language got nothing to do with popularity of cricketers or chess players. Tendulkar is respected from Australia to England to SA to Americas to our own country. Different countries, one religion - cricket, one immortal - Tendulkar.

Even Anand is pretty popular in India and specially Russia and all.

So shut the f*ck up and stop this North-South bullshit. You must be ******* one of those S****y Dravidians who wants a different country. Go f*ck yourself and let Indians live in peace

Check your facts.

Answer 7

If Sachin is not popular all over India and the world till now, he will be, hereafter, after today's IPL T20 match.

Answer 8

sachin is craze  all over the  world

Answer 9

I am not in sync with your views. I think Sachin is popular in India as well as outsite of India. Otherwise Ferrari would not have gifted him a Ferrari Car !

Answer 10

Chess?

You are comparing a chess player with an athlete?

Tendulkar is BY FAR the biggest sporting icon in India.No offense to Anand but he is NOTHING in front of Tendulkar.

Tendulkar is our hero.

No one burns Anand's effigy when he loses a match.

No one celebrates when Anand wins.

It's opposite for Tendulkar.He is under the pressure of more than 1 billion people.

All hopes of 1 billion crazy Indian fans on a little genius.This is too much pressure and not many people can tolerate that much pressure.

Tendulkar is not only India's best sportsman but he according to me is on par with guys like Federer,Schumacher and Tiger Woods.

May be even better than them.

Even Federer and Woods aren't under that much pressure.

I have a lot of respect for Anand.But there is no comparison between a chess player and a cricketer.

Doesn't matter how good a player Anand is but he is still a chess player.

Answer 11

I could confidently say that every cricket playing nation in the world would know who Sachin Tendulkar is.   He's an unbelievably talented batsman and very well respected individual.

I've got plenty of respect for the guy purely coz of the amount of pressure he must be under to perform week in,  week out.   Takes a h**l of a lot of courage to do that.
