"The Master", "The King", "The Hero", "The Superstar", "The one and only" SR Tendulkar added a new feather to his cap( and what a colorful cap it is!!!!) by becoming the first player in ODI history to cross 15000 runs mark.
For a person of Tendulkar's stature, all these records are trivial. He plays for his country and plays for it to win. But records like this are like an antidote for the venomous comments he receives every day throughout his career. At least for some time in the present future, he may relax and just concentrate on his batting, not worrying what some X or Y or Z will be talking about his game.
As Tendulkar himself said "It is their job to have opinions. When I hold a cricket bat in my hand it's a far tougher and bigger job. That is what I will concentrate on."
I just wish he continues to help India win more games and in the process achieve more and more records.
Rahul Dravid, India's captain: "It's a phenomenal achievement - for someone who has played so long to be so consistent. It's incredible. Not only do you need skill; you need a lot of mental strength and fortitude to do what he's done, to have that hunger over such a long period of time and go on scoring runs and find new challenges.
"I think he's achieved everything he ever wants to achieve in this game, but it's about motivating himself and trying to do his best for the team and ensure we win games. It's great to see."
Varun, The Greatest fan of Sachin: "Dude, you rock!!!"
