SACH

The batting virtuoso Sachin Tendulkar uses disappointment as a motivation to perform better! Gautam Bhattacharya wrote a book titled ‘SACH’. Sachin in that book snapped back at the critics back in 2008 saying, “I had stones thrown at me and I turned them into milestones.” And, he even told that this dictum was directed at people who didn’t understand his style of play!

I think he really did make his own landmarks! Tendulkar has displayed vintage form in the last couple of years. He has left no stone unturned. He also made the challenging 200 record against the ODI number one Australia during this period. And, we want the maestro to guide India home in the mega World Cup Event as well. Sachin also told a bit more about his critics and how is he affected by them.

“I meant that people who make statements against your style of play don’t know your mind. Neither do they know the condition of your body. It is just their opinion. For all you know, it need not be right. If you basically know yourself pretty well, it doesn’t matter what people say,” Sachin said.

“You know what you are capable of. If you remain confident of yourself, outside opinion won’t matter. You would just go out and continue to do things your way. I have always concentrated on my game and remained focussed. I have used disappointment as a reason to go out and work harder. Tried to bring in positives out of negatives. I always found ways and means for myself to work harder. When the going was good, in any case, I pushed myself all the more. Then I didn’t require a reason,” he added.
