sach is life
by chirag on May 06, 2008 11:38 PM

19th may 1999 .....
WC is in progress. India to take on zimbabwe in the next match. preparations are in full swing , india expected to win the match and enter super six stage.

then a bad news comes. sachin's father dies due to cardiac arrest !The whole nation prays for sachin. he has to return back home to mumbai. he takes the earliest flight possible to participate in the last rites... he is unavailable for the match.. his further participation in the WC is under doubt. BCCI gives him permission not to participate the future matches.

and what the team does for him ??? they lose against the weaker team zimbabwe.

What does sachin do? instead of being with his family , takes the next flight back to london. goes on to the field with great dtermination and concentration ..a and scores a blistering 140 against kenya. the whole nation applauds with a tear in their eyes..the entire nation salutes sachin for his commitment.

can u ever see such a committed cricketer ? he came back to london to play for india and not to make money or records. he could have made those runs anytime later. but he decided to come back . for whom ??? for fools like all u guys !

Can u tell me whether u guys can do such a sacrifice? if no then u have no right to comment on him

He is the greatest cricketer india has ever produced.
My salute to him !
