Mr. Rao, Yes he was listening to Manjereker's comments. He made a statements to his critics after he scored 69 against Srilanka, telling critics not to use their brain too much.
Nobody is abusing our heroes, but critics do work to get the best out of the extra ordinary talent of Sachin. Manjereker, Kapil or Bhogle don't have to be the best players in cricket to make logically analyzed comments. Even the Channel Nine commentators were questioning Sachin's contribution in last two years. It wasn't just Manjeraker or Kapil.. I am gald Sachin is playing well now though.
