Padma Vibhushan at age 35 is a signal that he is extraordinary to receive that award at such a young age while still being the best performer. I believe he knows his body much better than others. NAd it dosen't matter that he's missing the IPL matches, which translates to Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck cricket (entertaining though).

yep it doesn't matter that many many batsmen in modern times have much better records than Sachin in terms of strike rate averge conversion of 50s to 100s , making 300 runs etc. The only thing is Sachin has a lot of runs in ODIs which others may not catch up forever. However even there it is only because he has played so many matches, not because he is the greatest batsmen in ODIs. Sachin is a great batsmen no doubt but in no way can he considered to be the greatest after Bradman. Once upon a time he had the potential to match Bradman but he has not, all he has is a lot of runs, money and a lot of hero-worshipping blind fans. He has achieved much lesser than his talent allowed.

What matters for a professional ? Respect and views of his/her peers. There is Sir Donald Bradman, Sir garfield Sobers, Sir Vivan Richards, Shane Warne, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, Allan Donald, Wasim Akram, WISDEN, etc considering Tendulkar to be the best of his era. DO you think he gives a rat's @SS on what some fans think about him ?

Huh, every ex and current international player, dead or alive consider Tendulkar and Lara two of the best ever. And it certainly doesen't matter what a handful of fans think about him. All that really matter is views and respect of Tendulkar's peers, which he already have. And in terms of fans, the ratio of his fans against who are not would be 1000: 0.001

Be faaltu ki bakwas karke page ganda mat kiya kar.Logo ke paas teri ghatiya baate padhne ka waqt nahi hai.Agar cricket par kuch likhna hai to likh warna apna aur sabka time waste mat kiya kar.
