Its not an easy task to capture the attention of over 1 billion people in the world. Well nobody told Sachin, the man with God-like status is hailed as one of the best batsmen of his generation and his legacy will live and inspire many more generations to come.
Coming from a small community, he really had to work his socks off in order to get the recognition and attention he so deserved. On his Test debut, Sachin Tendulkar was the third youngest debutant (16y 205d).Ever since that day he has been breaking records left, right and centre.
Saying goodbye is not easy and the event was filled with emotion. Although the fans only got to see Sachin bat once on the day, his score of 74 was an exceptional way to put an end to an illustrious career.
As the saying goes... Numbers don't lie. Sachin's record are but a mere dream to most of us "Average Joes" when it comes to the sport of Ball and Bat.
