Finally He called it a day! While I was looking forward for Him to retire, when I hear it, I feel sad. It perhaps is similar feeling when someone you love passes away after a long ailment. You are fade up of his age & ailment, but losing him is still a great pain to you, because you always loved him.
Good Bye the Hero of Indian Cricket! You could have done this when you were at the peak of revere...nce for every Cricket lover just about 21 months back. You didn't play a single one day international after that, but took 21 long months to announce your retirement. If you had retired then, the feeling of all of us would have been utterly different. Nevertheless, we still love you and love you a lot!
You entertained us for so many years and we remembered you countless of times. You are an icon of Indian Cricket and a living legend who will be talked about for centuries. Your contribution to Indian Cricket is invaluable. You stood strong in all odds - shameful defeat in 1996 World Cup, Bookie rackets making all fouls in this Gentlemen's game, monkey gate scandal and many more matters like this. You emerged even stronger every time when criticism or injuries inflicted upon you, and you answered every time by your performance, and we actually witnessed someone proving our childhood lesson of ‘action speaks louder than words’!. We see lot of larger than life heroes in Cinema, but we know that this all is mere fiction. But with you, we have stories to tell to our next generation, of real life hero who, we witnessed living a life, which was truly ‘larger than life’. You always modestly responded to the praise and kept your feet always on the ground. We salute to your courage, faith in cricket and your immortal spirit to play.
Anyway, I have no words to offer in your praise. I would just finish saying that you will always persist in our hearts as our ‘Real Hero’, and that we would long cherish your innings. In today’s time, if someone asks me to show a Role Model who can inspire us to keep doing good work, I would have no hesitation to look upon you as the same.
