Sachin Tendulkar vows to take his final bow the day his passion for cricket fades away – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, has said that he does not need any one to tell him when to retire. The Little Master vows to hang up his boots, on his own, the day his passion for cricket fades away.
At present the right-handed batsman has no plans of retiring, as he is still as passionate about cricket as the day he first made his international appearance for India, some 23 years back.
“I still get Goosebumps as I stand with my teammates when the national anthem is on. I still feel the same passion when I pick up my bat and go out,” said the 38-year-old who is only a few days away from his 39th birthday.
Taking a dig at his critics, those who have been asking him to retire, Tendulkar said that they can never understand his urge for the sport, for that to happen they must be in his http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Peter-Hewitt-c66001.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 born cricketer said, “They (critics) can question but none of them have answers to their own questions. None of them has been in my predicament and it is impossible for them to understand what I have been thinking and
feeling.”
Tendulkar was stuck on 99 international centuries for well over a year but the batsman did not lose his composure and eventually got it in the Asia Cup 2012 during a match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
The 38-year-old admitted that scoring the ton of tons, took him a bit longer than he had anticipated. Tendulkar held that scoring the 100th century was the most difficult thing is his career.
According to Tendulkar certain factors have played their part in the delay. He said, “May be because it turned into a national obsession. May be because I wasn't able to escape talk of the 100th hundred and it was affecting me
at a subconscious level. May be God was trying me harder.”
Tendulkar is the only cricketer, who seems to get what he wants. Once the batter sets his sights on something he gets it, no matter how long it takes. The right-hander had to wait for 22 years for India to win a World Cup in 2011.
