It is time we savour his every inning he plays for the team and enjoy every moment of his game whether it is score from his bat or his catches during the fielding. He wants his team to win world cup 2011 as this will be his last world cup match before his retirement. He had almost did it about seven years back in South Africa but team failed to lift the cup in that world cup and now in year 2011 team has got chance to win the cup for the country. World cup 2011 will be after one year and he has still many matches to play before that and he is improving with every game he plays. He has still stamina to stand on the ground for the team for complete 50 over of batting as he proved with his double hundred against South Africa in second one day international match played in month of February.

Sachin Tendulkar or Sir Donald Bradman: Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar is counted among greatest cricketer and he has been playing in the international match from last two decades and made many records.

He became the first batsman ever to score a double hundred in one day international match. He is great player no doubt but he can never hope to equal Sir Donald who had test match batting average of 99.94 but the adaptability which Sachin has shown is not something which Sir Donald Bradman never needed to display. The way he has played throughout his career in last two decades under various circumstances of pressure and whenever team needed has made him great player. Sir Donald Bradman’s test batting average had fallen drastically in one series and had reached to 56 plus in which he had looked deadly while while faced with the guile of the shrewd Douglas Jardine and his bowling spearhead Harold Larwood. Sir Donald Bradman had never pressure of billions of fan as Sachin Tendulkar have but he had launched Australia from the conditions of depression and had fought in way in which no other can never.

Sachin is not just a cricketer but an icon and a phenomenon to whom we are blessed to watch practicing his art in front of us. He had said after his double hundred during the award ceremony that he dedicates his century to people of his country that were always with his in ups and downs of his career. He gave credit of it to whole nation for what he is and people have shown trust in him in various conditions.

Sachin Tendulkar-A Legend: Sachin Tendulkar is player with great strength and he is a true legend. He had started his international career in test against Pakistan at Karachi played from November 15-20 in year 1989 and started one day career against Pakistan at Gujranwala on Dec 18, 1989.

Sachin and Sehwag have given rest: Master blaster player Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Shewag has been given rest for the last one day international match against South Africa which will be played on February 27, 2010 at Ahmedabad. India is already leading in the series and even has won the series by 2-0 and only one match is left of three one match series. Sachin Tendulkar was failed to do much in first one day match played in Jaipur but in second match he had made world record of scoring first time double hundred in one day international match. He was on the wicket from opening to end of Indian inning which shown his fitness at this age even and how much talent he has is shown by his brilliant inning which will be always remembered. He had broken the previous highest total of 194 runs which were at the name of Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwe’s Charles Conventry. Sachin Tendulkar’s previous highest score was 186 run unbeaten while not it is 200 runs unbeaten. He played brilliant inning showing magic from his bat and proving himself fit for the 2011 world cup. He dedicated his record inning to people of India who were along with him in ups and downs of life and supported him always. For last match he is given rest as team is not having much pressure now as team has already taken unassailable 2-0 lead and series is in their hand. Virender Sehwag has also given rest while he did not do much for team in second one day match and given contribution of just 9 runs from his bat.

Harbhajan Singh and Parveen Kumar have also given rest: Harbhajan Singh was not available for first two matches because of some personal reasons and now he was available for the last one day international match but his rest is extended. Parveen Kumar is also given rest for the last one day match of series and Karnataka pace bowler Abhimanyu Mithun is given chance at his place in the squad. Parveen Kumar had taken in first one day while in second one day he was able to pick up only one wicket. It is time when team can test the new comers while they have already clinched the series for South Africa and keeping it in mind many good players are given rest. Harbhajan Singh was on rest and he is considered as best spinner for the team at present and even in absence team won the both first matches and decided to continue without him in last match as well.

Time to test inexperienced players: Team would be looking towards the next year’s world cup and to win the cup team will need a good squad so that if some experienced players are not fit then other players can be taken into the squad. Players which are not much experienced or are new comers are given chance in the last one day match to check their skills and it is good time when team can make test on them. Murali Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Abhimanyu Mithun and R Ashwin are given the chance in 14 man squad. They have got good chance to show their skills while team management has decided to give them chance to show their talent at this stage and they can become the part of upcoming world cup squad for Indian team. No doubt it is golden opportunity for them while many key players are injured and some top players are given rest so it is their time to make team win the match with the skills they have to lead the team. Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh   and Zaheer Khan are not playing in series while Sachin Tendulkar, Virendar Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Parveen Kumar are given rest. The team will be having only skipper M S Dhoni who have scored century and played 161 matches while among bowlers Ashish Nehra is most experienced in squad with 99 one day international matches.

Eyes on last one day: Every time team wants to win the match while now Indian team is already in comfortable zone having unassailable 2-0 lead in the three one day match series and have also chance to win the last match as well. Team is not having much senior player in the last one day match but still team is not weak and they will try to win the last match as well. It is time for team to show that when the senior players will not be there still they can lead the country and prove in cricket world that Indian team stands among the best teams of cricket. Many new players are given chance as well and some of players who have played before but did not get much chance to show their talent are given chance again in the last match so that their talent can be judged well. Match can’t be win by just one man’s effort and it will require the whole team contribution to win the match and team has got chance to win series with 3-0 by winning the last match. South Africa has already lost the series with losing previous two one day matches of series but that is counted among the best teams in cricket world and had also given tough fight in first one day match in Jaipur which India won by just 1 run and they will definitely try that they will not lose at least this last match of the series. In second one day match AB de Villiers was only man to score for the team and rest of players failed to do much but for the Indian squad it was a team effort which made them win the match as Sachin Tendulkar proved himself with first double hundred in one day international cricket history and other players also giving their contribution to the team as well. It is expected that it will be still a tough fight between the two teams in the absence of many senior players in the Indian team.

Aamir Khan’s thinking: Bollywood star actor Aamir Khan has thinking that the success of a song depends upon the actor on whom song is portrayed instead of the lyricist. With his view he came into the controversy with the writers that he wants to take away credits of the writers. Aamir Khan was made member of the committee which was formed by Indian government to review the amendments in the copyright act but he give resignation because of various allegations which he was facing during the discussion and also the attacks made on him from printing media to affect his image. Committee was consisting of the producers and writers for the issue of royalty and Aamir Khan was in the completely in favor that song’s success completely depend upon the actor not on the lyrists. Well known lyrist Javed Akhtar made comment on his statement that song “Papa Kehte Hai” was hit because of lyrist and he was not a big star even at that moment that he can make song hit. Aamir Khan had to take care while making his statement that actor should get credit of song instead of lyrists as with this statement he completely ignored the lyrists who have originally written the song.Singers get attentions: If the singer is popular like Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangaeshkar, Asha Bhosle or Mohmmed Rafi then they gets the attention. These are singers who gave the voice of the song while actors are just moving their lips not singing the songs in real and lyrists are the one who writes the song but they never get the right credit for it which they should get. They are always considered after the actor and singer who are just using the words written by the lyrist. In western countries there are bands and singers which plays the role of performers, song writers and lyrists but it is not so in our country and writers are considered at last. There are many famous lyrists like Sahir Ludhianvi, Kaifi Azmi, Gulzar, Javed Akhtar but all are treated after the actor and singer. Always actor gets the first credit of the success being the visible face while the voice is of the singer so he gets the credit after the actor. Time is changing and there are also some singers who are more popular than the actors like AR Rahman is well known singer and gets good income which may be more than a actor who is moving his lips in the song. Aamir Khan in controversies: Aamir Khan was known to stay away from media but in previous few years his statements are becoming reason of controversies. As Aamir Khan made comment on movie “Black” that Amitabh Bachchan has done nothing special in the movie which made Big B angry and replied that he need not to learn acting from him and he knows what he has to do.

In personal life too he has been in controversies whether it was his divorce with first wife Reena Dutta or his second marriage with Kiran Rao. He was also in controversy for the custody of his brother Faizal Khan. He did not left King Khan even and made comment on him that how he feels to number two after Aamir Khan after his success. Shah Rukh Khan reacted wisely and said that Aamir Khan is number one actor and he has no problem with it.Aamir Khan does not believe in getting rich: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has done many movies which other producers would have hesitated to do.
