CITY RAISES A TOAST TO SACHIN Tendulkar
Chandigarh, March 16 Today, though India lost the match against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup being held in Bagladesh, the legendary cricketer broke all records and scored his long awaited 100th century in his 23rd year of his cricketing career. The Chandigarh Tribune team has come across some cricket enthusiasts and Sachin’s fans, who wanted to be a part of the historic day. “I am proud of Sachin as he is the second cricketer of the millennium after Kapil Dev. As Sachin has achieved his aim by hitting the 100th ton against Bangladesh, he should retire from the One Day International cricket. No one can take his place but this is the right time for Sachin to say goodbye and give a chance to other young cricketers,” said Dronacharya awardee and former India captain Kapil Dev’s coach Desh Prem Azad. Cricket fans not only in India but across the globe are fortunate enough that they have seen the cricketing legend like Sachin in their lifetime. The sincerity towards sports has made him the role model for the budding cricketers in the country. Another fan and a resident of Sector 22, Rahul Bhaqta, said now Sachin should not be under pressure and score at will to lead the Indian team to victory. “He is batting well and is in-form. Work pressure had prevented him from reaching the milestone earlier,” he added.
