Cricket fans would argue that Sachin Tendulkar is the best cricket player on the Indian team. He is a batting expert and has led India's team to many victories. He is a player who uses defeat to rise above. Not only is he physically capable of being a cricket star, but he also has that "never quit" ? attitude that carries over to his entire team. Sachin Tendulkar is needed by India, however there have been some noted changes in the way he is perceived overall. When Sachin Tendulkar first hit the scene, fans could see his face everywhere. The cricket star was all over the television screen and in several sponsor advertisements. Today however, things are a bit different. India's shining star is sitting in the backseat when it comes to publicity. Experts wonder where the star stands with his lack of public endorsements and why Irfan Pathan is taking the spotlight instead. Some speculate it is because Irfan Pathan is younger and that Tendulkar has simply passed on the publicity to the younger player. Although this is in question, there is no doubt that India knows they need Tendulkar, and therefore, he will always have a place on their team. |
