Tendulkar, a national hero says Yuvraj Singh – Cricket News Update
Indian middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364, has deemed veteran batsman, Sachin Tendulkar, a national hero and a true inspiration for everyone.
Yuvraj, who recently fought cancer to return to the Indian setup, was speaking at the launch of a book on Sachin Tendulkar by photo-journalist Suman Chattopadhyay, titled ‘The Peak’, where he was invited as the guest of honour.
The fluent left-handed batsman had played a key role in his side’s impressive triumph in the World Cup last year, but suffered a career-threatening cancer late last year. However, he duly made his way back after a successful rehabilitation period and made it to the Test lineup for the ongoing series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
He scored a crucial half-century in the first innings of the opening Test, which ultimately helped his side win the game by nine wickets. The team than faced an embarrassing loss in the subsequent clash, where they were defeated by an overwhelming margin of 10 wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556’s form has been up for debate for the best part of the past year or so, where he has had a limited impact on his team’s fortune. The Master Blaster has not scored a Test century in more than 10 attempts during that period, and has further taken limited part in the 50-over version.
He himself admitted that he is considering his future with the national team but will make a definitive call only after wrapping up the ongoing series. So far, he has made just 29 runs in three innings, and has been dismissed by a spinner on all three occasions.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 also announcing his retirement from International cricket, it remains to be seen whether Tendulkar will follow suit. For Yuvraj, he has always been a player of ultimate greatness, and a person who he loves spending time with.
"As a kid I always looked up to Sachin and still continue to do so. He is my hero... he is the nation's hero," said Yuvraj at the launch of a book on Tendulkar.
"Sharing the dressing room with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 has been a dream come true for me and it has been a wonderful journey with him," added Yuvraj.
The third Test of the series starts from December 5, at Eden Gardens.
