Viewing Sachin Tendulkar on TeleVision running in the field to stop balls from the bats
of Warner&Covan at Mohali today ,reminded me of a serious lapse on my part to cover
of the most important event of his carrier in a Blog.I had written many Blogs on SRT
&missing this one from my side was indeed a serious shortcoming.
This was somehow missed partly owing to the Test series between India&England and later
on between India&Australia bu mainly due to being away from our conputer on a vacation.
Any how a lapse is a lapse.So I have decided to amend it &hence this Blog ,perhaps,of
paramount importance to me &our evergreen hero of Bombay Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
A few months back when the Australian Prime Minister had visited India she had announced
about the decision to award the coveted award of Order of Australia to Sachin
Tendulkar taking into account the unforgettable contribution from Sachin to
Cricket.Usually this award considered to be the highest honour bestowed up on
prominent Australian Cricketers alone.The just one exception was CliveLlyod of West
Indies.But Llyod was by virtue of marriage an Australian also.
The highest Honour of Australia was to be presented to Sachin by AustralianMinister
at Bombay .
This highest Honour of Australia was presented to Sachin in November 2012 by
Australian Minister Horn Simon in a Fuction held in Bombay..
The picture above shows Sachin with a broad smile on his face ,as it used to be
always,with happiness&thankfulness reflecting in his eyes.
Sachin is still playing Test Cricket for India.Within a matter of 4 more Test matches
he would become the owner of yet another World record of Playing 200 Test matches.
Sachin is still continuing in Cricket, inspite of becoming a member of RajyaSabha
just because he did not feel like leaving cricket after having reached the brink
of achieving a special honour&record.He played his first test Match against Pakistan
on 16th November 1989 in Karachi
Long live Sachin Tendulkar the greatest cricketer from India who had created all
sorts of records some of them likely to remain for a very long time to come.
