Sachin tendulkar Speaks After his Ton

Sachin has achieved almost everything that seemed impossible in cricket.. and now should achieve another seemingly impossible thing in cricket.

Tendulkar speaks: "It's been a tough phase for me. I started off the season batting reasonably well, i was luckless. I was not thinking about the milestone, the media started all this, where ever I went, the restaurant, room service, everyone was talking about the 100th hundred. Nobody talked about my 99 hundreds. It was slightly different, the ball was not coming onto the bat. It hasn't sunk in but I've definitely lost about 50 kilos. Doesn't matter how many hundreds you've scored, you still have to put your head down and score for the team. Dreams do come true. I had to wait for one for 22 years (the World Cup)."

Tendulkar was talking to Ramiz Raja. He was a tired man when he spoke. Like he said, nothing has sunk in.

It doesn't really matter that he scored against a weaker team. A century is a century and we may never see this emulated. So it has to be celebrated. How long he intends to play is another discussion.

Back to the game..India have set a very tall total, though not out of reach for Bangladesh. They are capable, but will have to play to a plan. They have capable players like Shakib and Nasir to guide them in the middle order.
