The God is back

141 Not Out
13 Fours
5 Sixes
40th One day International Hundred!!!

Who else? Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is back, who else can make such a comeback after the injury except for the King of the game.



The innings really depict the character of the man, his maturity and the determination. I don't remember a period in his career before this, when he has been put on test, when the questions have been raised on his fitness, his hunger for runs, the critics narrowed their eyes on the healed shoulder, but no this man doesn't know how to say die. At the age of 33, when he has already given more than half the years of his life for the cause of Indian pride, there comes 141* to give a very simple answer to the critics, "injuries can change and so can the oppositions, but not the class of Sachin Tendulkar."

The next match is against Australia, and I am looking forward to another repeat of what happened in Sharjah in April 1998.
