IMO only two things left for Great Sachin. One is world cup and another one is completing 50 centuries in one day. Hopefully both happens in this world cup itself.

Kirsten: I wanted to impress Sachin
Gary Kirsten has revealed how he tried to impress Sachin Tendulkar before taking up the role of India’s coach.
Kirsten, one of the most popular coaches India have had, is on the last leg of his tenure as he will be stepping down after the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
“I still remember in Adelaide (during India’s 2007-08 tour of Australia), Sachin came up to me and said ‘Can you throw a few balls at me?’
“I said to myself, I need to impress him. I threw from 16-17 yards and he missed a few balls. Next moment, he came to me and said, “Gary do you mind going a few yards back?” Kirsten recollected during the release of journalist Gautam Bhattacharya’s book ‘Sach’ on Thursday.
“After that, lovely cover drives flowed from Sachin’s bat. It was a good learning experience for me. I am fortunate to have had many net sessions with him and played alongside him.”
“It has been a humble privilege to have worked with him and the rest of the Indian team,” he continued.
Kirsten feels that it’s Sachin’s modesty that makes him the champion he is.
“Whenever Sachin comes out to bat, he does so with absolute humility. He is undoubtedly the greatest sporting role model.”
Tendulkar himself was present during the release of his biography, along with teammates Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan and Rahul Dravid. Former captain Anil Kumble was at the venue as well.
“I have never really got tired of watching Sachin bat. He has inspired so many generation of kids,” Dravid said.
Kumble echoed the sentiments of his erstwhile teammate.
“He has touched the lives of more people than anyone in the world. It’s been a privilege to have witnessed Sachin’s achievements.
The leg-spinner ended by giving his best to the Indian team for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.
“The World Cup is one tournament that requires team effort. I wish Sachin, MS (Dhoni) and the rest of the boys all the best in their endeavour to win the Cup,” Kumble said.

Playing for Sachin won't get India the Cup: Waugh
New Delhi: Former Australia captain Steve Waugh does not believe in the refrain that the Indian cricket team should win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar, saying that a side cannot go on to lift the coveted trophy playing for just one person.
"I think that is not the right approach. You can't win the World Cup playing for just one person. You play for the team, for the country. The game is bigger than any individual," Waugh said here today.
Sachin is the greatest role model: Kirsten
Tendulkar, playing in his sixth and probably the last World Cup, holds almost every conceivable record in an illustrious career spanning over two decades, but the only thing missing from his impressive portfolio is the coveted trophy.
Waugh said that India are definitely one of the favourites and if the team does win, it will cap off a great career for Tendulkar.
The country has its hopes pinned on the champion batsman, and Waugh believed that Tendulkar's role will be crucial in tricky situations.
"Tendulkar may not be the star of the tournament but he is going to play key roles in crucial moments," he said.

Bought Gautam Bhattacharya's "SACH". M.S.Dhoni has written the forward, yet to read that but he says that "If Cricket is Ram, Sachin is Hanuman, greatest disciple"
Ohh, the book is released? Will buy it this week :)
