He is NOT God!

He's not God. Stop diminishing importance of his achievements by calling him God. God can do anything but not human. Everything is easy for God but its not for Human. Nothing was easy for Tendulkar definitely not free of cost. He has worked damn hard day and night to reach to a stage where he is today. It's the kind of hard work that we can only imagine and not think of doing it. We cannot do that- not because we are human and he's God but because he has passion for the game. He loves the country and has got strong desire to be in Indian Team and make India win every match. Had he been God, India would have won all matches. Had he been God, he would have represented World team not India.

I believe players like Sehwag, Yuvraj have got more 'natural' talent than Sachin but its the attitude on and off the field where Tendulkar wins!

People raise their expectations by calling him God. But when he fails same people start blaming him in different ways- selfish, lacks the ability to win matches, etc. Think of him as a normal human with lots of limitations. Allow him to make mistakes, allow him to fail and lose matches. Not every match can be won but still for past 20 years he has been giving his best to make it happen.

Strange we compare Sachin with God. May be that renders us courage to accept the failure of rest of the Indian team(scene of 90's decade). It becomes easy for us to excuse 'He's God. Not everyone is SRT so he should have stood their till last ball and won the match', 'I dont care about others, but how come Sachin didnt play well?' I agree not everyone can be as great as Sachin but can others, at least, try to learn 0.001% of his greatness and fail? The failure shall teach them a lot.

He is god. Shewag & Uv have 'natural' talent. Sachin's talent is 'supernatural' :)

Yes, I would say many cricketers have had almost equal talent as Sachin. Talent helps you, however upto certain extent only. Beyond that it is the attitude, mindset, spirit, temperament!

Was Sachin ever involved in any on-field/off-field controversy ever in these 20 years? No!

I remember that match-fixing story I read somewhere. India was to play a certain team and Sachin got some hints of match-fixing deals being done by some of his team-members a day earlier. Next day, he scored a century and won the match for India.

It is this quality of him that makes him tower above the greatest of the greats!

Oh btw, do we miss a heart beat (worrying about getting out) every time for any players other that Sachin, ever ? No!
