Vint”AGE” Tendulkar!

Wine is perhaps the best entity that describes Sachin Tendulkar’s craftsmanship, it just keeps getting better……
As he himself said after completing his 44th century "I am enjoying the game. My effort will be to try and keep playing the game and help win matches but the enjoyment factor is extremely important."
It certainly is. Every innings is crafted, every stroke an endeavor.....And the cynics can only make calamitous predictions about Tendulkar at their own peril.
But every time Tendulkar comes up with superlative performances, one is reminded of the infamous headline carried by a national newspaper in 2006.
"Endulkar?"
Since then, Tendulkar has gone on to conquer many more pinnacles of success.
It is true that age is one process no one can overcome. It is cruel. It spares none……. not even the most gifted of artists or the fittest of sportsmen.
It will get to HIM too but it’s obvious that he will go out on his own terms. That became evident from his hundred in the Compaq Cup tri series final against Sri Lanka. To come up with such an extended master class in extremely trying conditions battling Mendis, Malinga and cramps called for a superhuman effort.
What next?
The one thing that he has set is heart on….. A World Cup in the 50 over format.

So till then just sit back and sip on to the Vint”AGE” Tendulkar!!!!!
