April 2, 2011... The day, when over a billion prayers were answered and a man's dream came true. The man who has been serving our nation since last two decades and has successfuly carried the responsibility and hopes of entire nation on his shoulders. That man who had just one dream in his eyes, a dream to win the World Cup for his nation.
He singlehandedly took India closer to his dream in 1996 and 2003, but the destiny didn’t favour him. He suffered injuries, faced a lot or criticism, but he didn’t lose hope. He came back stronger then ever and proved everyone why he is called the God of cricket. In 2011, which was supposedly his last chance to achieve his dream, he again showed his master class and brought home the World Cup, fulfilling his dream, and fulfilling billion’s expectations.
Every single Indian wanted him to be a part of World Cup winning team, and the moment finally arrived on April 2, 2011, when our captain dispatched the cricket ball into the crowd. That man came running down from the dressing room and hugged his players, he was crying, he was happy, and with him entire nation was happy.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, a genius of a man, we thank you for giving all of us, your two decades of life. We applauded you when you have performed, criticized you when you sometimes didn’t, but you never complained. You have taught us, how to be honest with your work, how to be modest despite getting success, and how to be true to your nation. You are an idol for me and for everyone. We wish you many more years of cricket with continued success.
Heartfelt congratulations for achieving your dream, and in the process making us the world champions. And, once again, thank you, for carrying our hopes and making us feel proud. India loves you… World loves you!!!
