I
have lost count of the number of times I have been asked this question
by supporters of other cricketing nations. Sure, they all know Sachin
Tendulkar is good. Extremely good, in fact. Most would also acknowledge
him as a great, not just of his age but of all time.
What
they can’t quite comprehend, however, is why us Indian fans venerate
Tendulkar so highly. Why is he worshipped as a god when he is no more
than a man, and a rather short and stocky one at that?
