The last time Sachin helped India won a final was in Sharjah vs Australia in 1998.
If m not wrong thats the only decider in which Sachin has helped India win.
In so many finals he has missed. But still people call him God and what not. Crciket is a team sport and individual records do not matter.
In their short career players like Yuvraj Dhoni and Karthick have contributed so many times in the finals and ensured India won.Even Rahul Dravid has done it for India.
There are so many Sachin fans reading this.Can anyone point out Sachin contributing in the finals for India apart from 1998???

do you mean that Sachin should perform only in the Finals not in the Preliminary matches (ie., his failure is acceptable in all the priliminary matches). Come on man, he gave the chance to the team to be part of the finals.. nany times.

See a man with 15000 runs is not the one to answer anyone . He has time and again proved his capabilities. I think u forgot the last 93 he made against SA. and Wht abt Word cup 2003 against pakistan. and wht abt so many innings he played under pressure. and mostly playing in first innings due to which india has posted a lot of runs against so many teams.. You plz dont ask this gr8 man crenditials. He has not been given 54 times MOM award for playing for himself. He is still a fit man and able to answer all critics. He has strong legs to run , No body except Yuvi and kartick in current team can match his running b/n wickets capability. He can still bowl better then Harbhajan sing on given day. He can do whtever he has asked to do..
And If u can tell me 5 mans in current ERA who is 34 and has 20 centuries to there name.. some has retired and some are hanging in the cliff.
Sachin is unbeatable. I pitty people ask the crenditiality of sachin.. Really indians themselves ruin there own treasures..

dear Sarkar,
Why should a team depend on Sachin always? You should not blame sachin alone for not contributing in the finals.Do to your over expectation from him, when he fails in a match, you people are not able to digest.
As you said, for a team sport, al the elven shoud take responsibitlity for either a win or a loss.No one like sachin should be cornered for either to decide win or loss.
In the last final against Southafrica , only Kemp and Gibbs made south africa to get a good score when thier top order batsman get collapsed at early for 28-4. This team spiirit is missing from India. Our Team members should learn this fighting tendency from Australia and south africans.

Now ppl will ask whats use of that??? unless he plays how team could build total??? Many times he made winning platform..I agree he failed in Deciders but what @ roadway to the final..who carried???...Don't critise any player...I am not defending Sachin...But letting u know some facts...
