He is on 186 and runs for a double like he is just getting off the mark!! that hunger...he goes outside the offstump, after two dot balls, and hits stein over squareleg!! that talent....he goes down the track and throws VDM over long on and extra cover like he is playing a gully cricketer!! that ruthlessness...and he looks to the sky when he completes his double ton and thanks god!! that modesty...you cannot help but stop and think if cricket even exists beyond this man...if ever a quasi religion of a billion people could find a greater god or is this the nirvana...to watch Sachin unleash one magic after another...where else, pray, can God be, if not here?
One the day the master hit a double ton - first ever in ODI history, the day 24th Feb 2010 goes down in the holy scripts of cricket as a chapter on solemn bliss!
