Sachin is a phenomenon, and has touched lives of millions of sports lovers across the world with his bat. He's a down to earth personality. A man with an average height, Tendulkar has been keeping the tri-color waving since his international debut.
THE COUNTRY'S highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna, it appears, may soon be conferred on the living legend of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, a man synonymous with world records.
According to reports emanating from sports ministry, sports minister, Ajay Maken has recently written a letter to ministry of home affairs requesting to include sports arena also in the domain considered for honoring the coveted award. As of now the guidelines crafted for honouring the persons for Bharat Ratna considers people who have rendered exemplary services in the field of art, literature, science and public service.
Once the government gives its nod to the proposal of the sports minister in principle, the decks will be cleared for Sachin’s coronation. Over the years, many people have supported the idea of honoring the wizard of cricket with nation’s highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna.
Sachin has virtually re-written record books in his glittering awesome career spanning over two decades. Now, whatever he does on the cricket field automatically becomes world record. The legend has excelled on every pitch, in every condition and with the fiercest opponent.
