Sachin has the tendency to skip the matches telecast on channels other than on ESPN-STARSPORTS. Sachin skips the matches due to so-called injuries especially when the same are shown on SET MAX. That is the reason for him not playing IPL so far. Sachin plays for the sponsors lobby. Even during the World Cup 2007 in West Indies, it was the same story as telecast right holders were Set Max. So he played poor cricket to avoid India's progress in the next round. He skipped Sri Lanka series (SL rights are with SET MAX?). He is against SET MAX channels or against all the rival channels of ESPN-STAR with whom he has an understanding.
You can recall many instances of his non-availability and its connection between the channels holding telecast rights.

How can u say that the injuries was "so called".Are u doctor.U can not question sachin's commitment.Remember 1996 world cup when his father was no more during world cup.Sachin's father was his inspiration.It was great loss to him.But after cremation he returned to England to play match against Kenya and scored a ton.This event shows his commitment and love for country.My advice is to Mr. SRT is to to write meaningful and logical things only.Do not hurt the feelings of carors of fans across the globe.

Agreed Anuj. Even before the breaking of fixing scandal, there were many who were big fans of Azhar, Jadeja, etc. and they could not think anything adverse against their heroes, but they were shaken by the scandal. I know there many Sachin fans, even I do not Sachin like others, but it is a coincidence - shocking which can not be denied.

Take your ridiculous argument somewhere. It is one thing to be 'not a fan' but another to take it to extreme limits. What about the home series against SA when Sachin played the 1st test and then missed out on the remaining 2? Did Set Max not show the 1st test and started showing 2nd and 3rd tests?
