Article on Sachin Tendulkar
Headline: It took God 6 days to create the earth And on the 14th
..He rested!
Come the 14th Day
Of November 2013 and Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar will take his final bow and ascend to
cricket heavento shine even brighter than he did when he walked amongst mere mortals. The God
metaphor perhaps comes closest to describing the Maelstrom who bats at No 4 -- The Nemesis of
every fast bowler.the run machinethe master blaster .little master et al.
When it comes to sheer stickability nobody can surpass Amcha Sachin,for truly- over two decades he
has been a permanent fixture in the Indian cricket team which in itself is a feat beyond compare. Fellow
players may have come and gone , the game may have changed form and gotten more demanding but
nothing ever changed about the ever dependable Amcha Sachin.
He has applied himself to his life i.e. cricket and enjoyed it in all its forms whether displaying legendary
batting prowess & technique to create colossal records, being the master strategist to even playing
mentor to a young Indian team. The genius of Tendulkar knows no parallel and I suspect can have noneeither.
Can his record of 200 tests and 51 Test centuries and others be beaten? Perhaps! Records after all are
meant to be broken. Sooner or later someone probably might get lucky enough. However, can that
person surpass Sachins other achievements?Can he carry off with ease the weight of the aspirations of
a billion Indians the way Sachin has done since the tender age of 16? Can he create records in all forms
of the gametest, one day and T20?
Can this pretender to the throne actually BE the choked feeling in a hundred million throats as he
walks in to bat? Can he make millions of mothers & grannies who despite not understanding a thing
about cricket pray feverishly for this little giant to do well, to score those centuries and bail India out.
Can he disrupt train schedules when batting at 99? If anyone can surpass that then only can he claim to
have beaten the God who bats at no 4 and wears the NO.10 Indian Blue!
On cant really help wonder really as to what it is that makes this little man a giant. What secret diet or
exercise regimen does he follow that has seen him through 23 years of grueling cricket. What is that X
factor that makes Sachin the maximum run getter and an absolute lightening streak on the field?.Pure
luck or happenstance, lucky breaks, a good teacher, an early start what? Or could it after all have
something to do with the 3Ds of success?DISCIPLINE DETERMINATION AND DEVOTIONl. Words that
are mere words for most but a way of life for the rare few!
Its not that Sachin hasnt had his share of injuries after all if you have been playing cricket since your
school days and for over two decades facing some of the meanest pace attack plus running about on the
field you are bound to take some battering. However Sachin Tendulkar despite a tennis elbow condition,
pulled hamstring and countless injuries has still emerged fit and can give any youngster an absolute RUN
for the money.

There is even a photo gallery dedicated to Sachins injuries. So for a chronological run down on his
injuries you can refer tohttp://indiatoday.intoday.in/gallery/sachin-tendulkars-injuries/1/5450.html.
So what does Sachin eat?
It is quite disappointing to know that there isnt a Sachin Tendulkar secret diet. Or if it were a secret diet
he obviously isnt telling. A self confessed foodie Sachin loves food especially lobsters and Mangoes. He
eats a bit of everything when off the field and during cricketing season he is on his prescribed diet of
40% carbohydrate, 30% fat and 30% protein. Could that be responsible for his quick running
between the wickets we wonder.
Diet During Matches
His diet intake consists of 40% carbohydrate, 30% fat and 30% protein.
BreakfastBig bowl of porridge + 200ml milk + water with a tsp of sucrose and raisins ifdesired250ml fresh fruit juiceTea/coffee

3/3
Dedication and devotion are simply not possible without concentration and well what can one say about
that. Imagine the roar and din of the spectators especially when you are batting on enemy turf. The
ability to fade out external noises and simply concentrate on the ball which comes down at you at a
speed of 155 Km/h must take some ability. Thats what adds to the mystique of Tendulkar- The ability to
concentrate. Must be something in that walk down the pitch and tap the batritual which he is seen to
do often in between deliveries.
As though enough hasnt been said about Sachins qualities another one comes up and that is his pain
threshold according to Dr SN Omkar, who was the Indian team's yoga instructor in the early 2000s.
Sachin took to Yoga quite naturally and that helped him in every aspect of the game right from enduring
and healing injuries to enhancing his natural stroke play and above all the ability to have phenomenal
concentration. Sachin also undertook training with Yoga Guru BKS Iyengar after he suffered from a
pulled hamstring and has over the years attended several yoga seessions to get his battle ravaged body
back in shape.
Ultimately there must be some X factor at work that goes beyond all normal human qualities. Some call
it the hand of destiny or luck. Imagine how easily one could get swayed by all the fame and adulation
that has come Sachin Tendulkars way. A lesser mortal could have gone completely berserk by a fraction
of the attention that Sachin has today. What keeps him grounded and sensible? Mediation is something
Sachin does regularly and according to him that is what keeps him grounded and modest enough to take
his God Status with ease. So thats one more point in the making of a legend Physical fitness , diet,
right exercise, meditation for mental equilibrium and of course the external factors of a supportive and
closely knit family .
So essentially to become Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar one must have all those factors like physical
prowess, mental strength & disposition, opportunity and the ability to encash on it , attitude, fighting
spirit, determination, devotion, discipline, ability to concentrate and learn, adaptability, self esteem, the
blessings and encouragement of family and a teacher who helps bring out the best in you ALL THESE
..COINCIDING AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME! To draw a parallel isnt that just like how life
happened on earth? A series of JUST RIGHT factorsthat came together at the right time to make life
possible on earth? Just the way it uncannily makes Gods of cricket possible, possibly only once ina
lifetime phenomenon called SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR the God who according to Amul will make
India Retire Hurt on the 14th
of November 2013.
