The reason why he deserves a "Bharat Ratna"

                Bharat Ratna, a highest honor for Sachin Tendulkar awarded by the Govt. of India. It’s all over in the world of cricket now. “kab humne yeh socha tha, ek aisa din aayega….” Certainly it is making me cry a lot for the last couple of days. I cannot believe he has already left the cricket. As the government has decided to honor Sachin Tendulkar, let’s see why he deserves this highest honor in our country. I am very happy today and my tears of happiness aren’t stopping at all. During these 24 years, we have seen a lot and these charts may define it. As I have read it in my favorite news paper, I believe it must be shared to every people because this is the reason why he deserves the Bharat Ratna…

Some quotes by players of opposition,

·         “Nothing bad can happen to us if we’re in a plane in India with Sachin on it”- Hashim Amla (SA)

·         “We did not lose to team called India, we lost to a man called Sachin Tendulkar”- Mark Tailor (AUS) after Sachin’s Sharjah’s storm knock.

·         “There are two kinds of batsmen in the world. One Tendulkar, and Two, all the others”- Andy Flower (ZIM)

                Sachin will be missed by all of us and he will remain in our hearts forever. The glorious end of his career has made each of his fan cry in pain. His game was connected with many hearts. I feel really proud of him. Only one name I will remember when I’ll heard of cricket
