Sachin Tendulkar’s Hun’DREADS’ for India

Sports March 20, 2011 by Nishitha

I write this post with utmost respect and love for the greatest legend, Sachin Tendulkar, in the game of cricket. There are no records THE MASTER BLASTER has not bagged into his kitty and there are many more to come.

Sachin Tendulkar - The Master Blaster in Indian Cricket History
Sachin Tendulkar – The Master Blaster in Indian Cricket History

We Indians are a very superstitious lot and this has led to many stories and one such is being shared here. 90% of the Indian cricket crazy fans are excited when Sachin scores a 100 but deep down inside their heart they are bitten by this bug that whenever Sachin scored a 100 India had lost that crucial match.

The latest to prove is the encounter with South Africa in the preliminary league match on 13.3.2011. India was cruising towards a fantastic target around 400+ but the jokers, sorry chokers fell like nine pins and set a cheap target for the South Africans and they did it without much effort.

Here’s a look at Sachin’s ODI hundreds in losing causes:

Out of the 93 times, Sachin Tendulkar has scored a fifty, India has secured 56 wins while ending up on the losing side 35 times. Two games yielded no results. Digging deeper, India has won 28 times whenever Sachin has scored between 70 to 99.

Although I do not blame the master blaster for the losses as we say DIL HAI KI MAANTA NAHIN.Not only this the record of Yuvraj and Sehwag is much better compared to Sachin’s. Whenever they have scored more than 50 Indians went on to win. It’s also said that Whenever the legendary Gundappa Vishwanath scored a century India went on to win that Test Match.

Sachin also says that he feels happier whenever India wins and his score does not matter. This legend is 100%team man and contributes to every aspect of the game. This world cup 2011 might be the last one for the master and this is the time all the overpaid paper tigers like Dhonis, Rainas, Munafs, Nehras, Chawlas should realign their goal to give a fitting tribute to this GREATEST LEGEND OF WORLD CRICKET.

I pray for India’s world cup win and again another superstition that is against is NO HOST COUNTRY HAS EVER WON THE WORLD CUP.

Can India and Sachin break this Jinx? Keeping my fingers crossed!
