Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has always been my favorite since my childhood days. I was more aware of his batting techniques such as straight drives and other such shots which I was unable to understand as my inclination was towards Football which was the most favored game in our school Holy Cross, B.S.City.
Although, my limited knowledge in Cricket was through The "Cricket Samrat" a monthly magazine on Cricket where the famous Chetan Sharma to Eknath Solkar along with Imran Khan and Wasim Akram equally got importance. There was no social, political or boundary divide and the Cricket was more a gentleman game.
I did not get the opportunity to watch various series and most of the time it was because I was the one who shelled out my father's idea of buying a T.V. I don't remember the reason but I did not find it good enough while my interest was more with family outing to Cinema hall every fortnightly. So, whether, it was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak or Sholay, Deewar, Zanzeer, Mughal-e-Azam all such movies were watched on Silver Screen rather than the weekend movies and not to forget Don by Amitabh Bachchan.
Now, talking about Sachin: A Billion Dream it is a great movie with the real struggle of a Kid who is from a middle-income background and fulfills his dream. He shows that all the adulations of the Cricketer or maybe any other sportsperson is only in the eyes of few people who are near and dear ones.
I was surprised to know that he was more fond of Bappi Lahiri songs and not that of Lata ji which has been propagated by media throughout his innings days. It was always said in Print media and also on the Television that he is fond of a particular genre of songs which is a disco and at the same time light music.
Anyway, that's not the point to be stated but the good thing which is shown in the movie is the dedication which has been shown by him in spite of all the booing and people underestimating his capability which was shown a little in the movie as it has to cover a large aspect.
His best innings was of 2011 World Cup when he uplifted the team morale and showed that the seniors are the one who projects the juniors to perform at a bigger stage. If he could have converted the innings into a great one the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, and many others would not have flourished.
Similarly, the importance which he has got all around the world is because of his humble character and his ethics which were more of keeping to himself with few friends. He never allowed the success to get into his mind and the character which he showed was very much of steel.
With his stint at Rajya Sabha, he was more of a quiet person who did not ask or raised a single question but was helping out the needy by adopting villages which showed that he has spent the amount given to him in a proper manner without creating any hip and hoopla about it.
Now, with his active dedication towards raising the standards of various games from Marathon to other sports shows that he is the Sportsperson not only in name but also in his deeds!!!
