His batting average and consisitency shows the kind of player he is. Only fools can question his batting ability. Though, Sachin can never get back to his original form, he is still the best batsman in the world. Not, because i m an Indian , i say this, but his record says it all.

sachin is NOT a match winner but yuvaraj is...sachin cant play when india is chasing a big total wheras yuvaraj can do it...sachin can only hit centuries when batting first and succumbs under high pressure when his individual score is in the 90s...yuvaraj when hit a sixer even when he is on 99...yuvaraj is ateam player...sachin did not bring any world cup victory to india in his long career but yuvaraj got us the 20-20 WC and still will bring more...so stop comparing sachin with yuvarj...

Maches are not won by individuals. There has to be a team effort to win them. Nobody is a match winner.. Yuvaraj or Dohni cannot win matches if they dont get proper support. Sachin is the greatest cricketer ever only that he never got the support from the team to win matches..

WHAT NONSENCE IS THIS ABRAMAM VERGHESE TALKING !!!! IT SEEMS HE DOES NOT KNOW THE FIGURES OR IS REFERRING TO WRONG RECORDS.
HOW CAN AN OPENING BATSMAN STAY TILL THE MATCH ENDS ? TALK LOGIN MAN.
SACHIN HAS ALWAYS LADI THE FOUNDATION WITH BIG SCORES. GENTLEMAN IT IS NOT EASY TO SCORE SUCH RUNS IN 1ST CLASS CRICKET. IT IS VERY EASY FOR U TO KEEP TYPING HATE MESSAGES AGAINST SACHIN.IF YOU UNDERSTAND CRICKET AND ARE MATURED ENOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER SAY THIS TO A GREAT CRICKETER. SHAME ON YOU !!

You are clearly quite a cricket illiterate.. it takes much much more to win the 50-over world cup than the T20 World Cup.. sachin single handedly took india to the semis of 1996 WC and finals of 2003 WC.. yuvraj will always be a finisher for india and never a player who can play 50 overs like Sachin.. that is y he comes at 4 or 5.. the state of indian cricket will be in dumps once sachin retires.. even today he is the batsmen most bowlers fear.. so stop comparing sachin n yuvraj.. go check how many matches yuvraj has won for India when someone like Sachin, Sourav or Dravid did not lay the foundation for him.. yuvraj and dhoni are just a replacement for the Jadeja-Robin Singh combination.. but no one can take Sachin's place..Sachin is the best thing that happened to Indian and World cricket

ok i agree on what u say...if sachin is a great crickter ...tell me any test match where sachin has scored in the second innings and made india win..sachin is a talented player..no doubt and he is getting paid for it...he is not doing charity???He is highly paid for playing cricket my boss...if u ask sachin to take 10 runs in last 5 balls against bangladesh in an odi..he will throw his bat becoz he cant handle pressure...but he can get centuries when asked to bat first...plz ask him to retire..lot of talent are waiting....state of indian cricket will be in dumps???is sachin a mafia don who controls indian cricket...indian public is not a fool..we have short memory...if sachin is not there we will create a new hero...

Terminator let us not get into hair spllting.Whether Sachin can play 2 innings etc. Is opening slot a relaxed batting slot? An opener in format is already under pressure even as he pads up.More so in test cricket Middle order is a place where you pace a game So telling Sach cannot handle pressure is not convincing Whatever u may say Sach is Gods gift to cricket for this generation and Let us be happy and proud that he is one of us ie An Indian

Jadeja-Robin Singh to Yuvraj-Dhoni, this is amazing comparison. I wonder sachin-fanatics at all understand what is sports in general leave alone cricket. Can 'Jadeja-The-Fixer' match the audacity of yuvraj or Robin singh match the Power hitting and consistency of dhoni. The typical indian mentality of creating Hill out of mole and creating demi gods like sachin, who are good players no doubt but 'THE GOD' of cricket is some what over-exaggeration and way too grossly over hyped. This is a team game and every player has a specific role to play just like sachin plays the role of opener but who doesn't know that the same sachin failed misrabely when he used to come down the order for about good 60-70 odd matches, where Yuvraj is doing so wonderfully well, even jadeja accepted this in an interview that Yuvraj-Dhoni is probably the best number 4-5 batsman india has ever produced. India won as many matches as may be sachin won when he wsa not part of the team and saurav-sehwag were the openers for almost 2 years. Sachin was reduced to the miniscule spectater and his fortune was not revived till finally Dalmiya was ousted.

well said Mr.sinha...its a team game..we have to acheive the target within the stipulated time frame...sachin is highly over rated crickter...just look at the records of kallis,ponting..they are mentally tough and win matches for their country...kapil dev,ian botham,imran khan,viv richards are far more greated than sachin...
