Yep, thats right. If you compare the life of these two greats you wont find this thread hard to accept. Sachin andRocky, both of them are Extraordinarily talented and determined but are physically inferior against most of their opponents. Yet more often than not they prevail due to their genius and grit to survive.
rocky Started his career as a nobody who got his surprise match against the World heavyweight champion. Noone expected much from him, though he prooved everyone wrong. He stood his ground for 15 rounds and only lost on the basis of unanimous votes. He got his rematch a year later and won the match by a knockout.
Sachin started his career from Pakistan tour in 89. Expectations were low. He was hit on the nose in the 3rd test match by Waquar younis and felll on the ground but as rocky said " It is not about how hard can you hit, it is about how hard can you get hit and yet carry on moving", Tendulkar got up and scored a fighting 61 at the age of 16.
Rocky balboa's coach died after his shock defeat , but rocky came back and won the rematch in KO for his coach.
Sachin's father died during WC 99, but it didnt affected his game. Instead, he became more determined and scored 141 in next match.
Thoroughout his career Rocky fought the Physically superior opponents and won the match due to his will.
Sachin on the other hand played with a crap team in 90's and won matches single handedly due to his talent and will.
At the age of 55 everyone wrote Rocky Balboa off, everyone made fun of him when he decided to come back to professional boxing. But again rocky prooved crictics wrong and stood for 15 rounds against the World Champion and once knocked the champion on the ground. though he had lost but everyone knew what would have happened to the champion is he had fought against rocky when rocky was young.
Everyone was cricticising tendulkar that his age has affected his game and he is not the same batsmen any more but he has prooved everyone wrong time and again with genius innnings. He reminded them that nothing is stationary and everything changes with time. Though sachin has changed with time but he is still giving the same output as before. It is only the production that is changed. Monst of players peak once in a life time but Sachin is peaking 3rd time in his career.
In the words of Rocky Balboa " Every great fighter has one last fight left in him"
converting that for sachin -- " Every Great Batsmen has one great match left in him"
May be we are talking bout 2011 WC Final. A century in the final is the only thing that can conclude his great journey.
