Sachin Tendulkar has scored 50 centuries in test cricket. A commendable feat indeed and at 37 yrs, he's shown what perseverence is all about. To keep himself fit and still having that hunger to wield the willow to score runs shows his class and also that he's a cut above the rest. Let many more runs flow from his bat and may he continue to play for India for many more years.
But having said that I must say that I do not understand the clamour made at some quarters for him to be conferred the 'Bharat Ratna'. As I understand, the highest civilian honour is bestowed on individuals whose contribution to the country's legacy is all round and spread over a wide canvas. Sachin has been honoured with the highest awards in the field of sports and he has even got a Padma award. He, therefore, needs to continue to do well as the country has given him so much and above all, an iconic status! For heaven's sake, do not deify him!!
