[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1523375564966","data":"To put the entirety of Sachin's career in a short article is nothing short of stupidity. Sachin's career, his style of play, his discipline and his work ethics can fill multiple volumes, there simply isn't enough to write about this literal God of Cricket in India. Starting with, of course, his humility even in the face of being hero worshipped - there are people who would willingly give their life up for Sachin in this country - and yet he never had the arrogance, he remained the simple middle class boy that the country identified with. <\/p>So, when I cherry pick three moments from his tremendous career, no matter how good those moments were, it would still feel like gross injustice because I will inevitably not mention more. But then again, this is my tribute, and I get to say what goes in my tribute. I'm cool like that. <\/p>1. The Desert Storm: <\/b><\/p>India were facing the Australian side that was out for their blood, looking for the first sign to close in and finish the job in a match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The Aussies had hit a mind numbing 284 (come on guys it was still 1998), and put the pressure on the Indian side who not only needed to win the match, but also keep a decent run rate. <\/p>In walked Sachin Tendulkar in what would be the match that made him immortal. On that day, the Aussies saw the full wrath of Sachin's devastating batting. The wickets kept falling but the Bomber from Bombay did not falter, instead he stood tall, hitting the balls out of the park whenever and wherever he could. <\/p>Sachin went on to score 143, his momentum not breaking despite a literal desert storm interrupting the match. Shane Warne went on to joke that Sachin's batting on that day still gives him nightmares.  <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1523375920877","data":"aMubYAbRbgc"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1523375923530","data":"2. Devastation At The Centurion: <\/b> <\/p>The year was 2003, the World Cup's 36th match was slotted for March 1st, 2003, against arch rivals India and Pakistan. The stage was set, as it is with any match up with India and Paksitan, and the nation watched holding their breaths. <\/p>Pakistan back then had a lethal bowling line up, helmed by fast bowler Shoaib 'Rawalpindi Express' Akhtar, a bowler that has given even the most skilled batsmen a run for their money. But even he couldn't do anything against the Master Blaster, as Sachin hit boundary after boundary, scoring 98 runs in 75 balls, to deafening roars from the crowds cheering him on. It was one of Sachin's finest moments, pure class cricket and a treat to fans. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1523376020464","data":"FSowqKwZL7E"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1523376023635","data":"3. The 2011 World Cup Final: <\/b> <\/p>Now this one, I clearly remember.<\/p>It was the day India wept, for it was the final match Sachin would play in his ODI career. Mahendra Singh Dhoni had no qualms about talking about how the world cup win was for The God of Cricket Himself, and the emotion, the adrenaline we felt as we watched it unfold, the speech at the end, and the happiness on everyone's faces, it was a day that will not be forgotten as long as there are cricket fans in the world. It was a magical moment, after a career spanning 21 years, 6 World Cups and 635 matches in all forms of the game, the victory lap after the electrifying 2011 World Cup final was pure magic. <\/p>Kapil Dev broke down on live TV, overwhelmed with emotion, everywhere on the streets, Indians celebrated a legendary story in making, people were out on the streets, hugging, dancing and smiling from ear to ear. On that day, we were all Indian. Identity did not matter, what mattered was the twinkle in your eye and the smile on your lips, something we all could use more of in this day and age. <\/p>What a match it was. <\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1523376101650","data":"mnN_UPCpWhg"}]
