WORLD CUP : FOR SACHIN OR FOR INDIA?

CAME 2011 AND ONCE AGAIN THE CRICKET FEVER ROSE TO ITS PRIME . FOR COUNTRY LIKE INDIA
WHERE CRICKET IS PREFERRED OVER BOOKS AND PRESUMED AS A WAY TO BRING PEACE ACROSS THE
BORDERS ,IT IS INEVITABLE THAT PEOPLE WILL FANCY ABOUT INDIA'S CHANCES OF WINNING THIS
WORLD CUP.BUT THAT'S NOT THE PART OF DEBATE THIS TIME ,SEEING KANGAROOS NOT IN RYTHM,
SOUTH AFRICA NOT IN THEIR PRIME TOUCH AND PAKISTAN CONFRONTING WITH SERIOUS ISSUES
,INDIA IS REALLY LEADING ON THE TOP IN THE POST POLL PREDICTIONS AND THE ISSUE WHICH
EMERGED FROM ALL THIS IS THAT IS SACHIN GREATER THAN INDIA AS SOME OF THE PLAYERS OF OUR
COUNTRY TRIED TO SHOW THEIR TRIBUTE TO THE 'GOD OF CRICKET'.

I THINK THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION AND FOR A CRICKETER LIKE SACHIN WHO
PORTRAYS INDIA IN FRONT OF WORLD (NOT ONLY IN CRICKET) IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC NOT ONLY FOR
INDIA BUT FOR THE WHOLE CRICKET FRATERNITY TO SHOW THEIR PROFOUND GRATITUDE TOWARDS
THIS LEGEND. AND ALSO PLAYERS LIKE DHONI,BHAJJ,KOHLI HAS PLAYED GAME IDOLIZING THE
MAESTRO SO WHEN THOUGHT FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW ITS VERY MUCH UNDERSTOOD AND
APPRECIABLE . SO, KEEPING IN ALL THIS IN MIND WE SHOULD NOT REALLY HAVE TO THINK TOO MUCH
REGARDING THIS AND IF BY GOD'S GRACE (AND OF COURSE OUR TEAM'S PERFORMANCE ) ITS NOT BAD
IF WE SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO MASTER BLASTER ...
