The same venue Chennai nearly a decade back the crowd with the same expectations against the best bowling attacks at that time. Sachin marched lonely without any help from other teammates nearly pulling out one of the greatest test victories ever and what would have been the greatest innings ever. But for poor sachin’s fate India fell by a mere 12 runs short of glory. But the life has come full circle for the man who had nearly every batting record except for this the fourth inning match winning century. Finally the ghost is off sachin. And what a moment to do that after the Mumbai attack after the nation’s security being questioned, the man from Mumbai replied to all the doubts raised with a magnificent innings. The innings had Tendulkar’s genius personified. Though sehwag played a blinder to give in India an outside chance of a victory. It required a master to finish it on the final day. The battle is not only against the bowlers but also the temperature, massive total to reach, oppositions sledging tactics, last but not the least the haunting memory of the past it requires a tremendous concentration and master class, Tendulkar is the man who came up with it. It is a fitting finish with sachin hitting the winning runs and scoring his 41st century who could have written the script better.
