Who could have predicted in the late 1980s that an 18-year-old lad with a proverbial baby bat in his hand would make it a magic wand and cast a spell on the entire world with flashing drives.
However much his detractors may say, the Little Master of yesteryears has proved himself a cricketing giant by all means.
Tendulkar has played an innings of great character; “a piper who made the bowlers dance to his tune.”
