TRIBUTE TO SACHIN

Time Magazine's quote on Sachin:


" When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the
finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher
was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour
de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion
Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.When Tendulkar
embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer
was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was
an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still
intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to
"open" the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll
on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man.
Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had
champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin
Tendulkar and we never will.”
