Emotional Sachin says Dhoni the best captain he's played under
http://www.rediff.com/cricket/report...r/20110404.htm
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ] was at his emotional best while talking to the media on Monday.
After all, his most cherished dream had been fulfilled after 22 long years.
"Winning the World Cup was my biggest dream," he reiterated, adding, "I was only 10 when we won the World Cup in 1983.
"And my dream has got fulfilled now. It doesn't get better than winning it in Mumbai [ Images ].
"I became extremely emotional, which was rare. The tears in my eyes were happy ones."
Tendulkar also took the opportunity to express his gratitude towards his team.
"I was touched when the players said they won it for me," he admitted, adding, "It was because of a collective effort and responsibility that we won the Cup.
"We had actually to convince ourselves that we won the Cup."
Asked what worked for Team India [ Images ] in the tournament, Tendulkar was categorical.
"We peaked at the right time and that was important," he said.
The Master Blaster was also all praise for captain MS Dhoni [ Images ].
"Of all the captain I have played under, he's certainly the best," admitted Tendular , before proceeding to elaborate on his point.
"The maturity and alertness he showed was tremendous," explained Tendulkar, adding, "He reads the situation well and works accordingly.
"He understands the situation and doesn't show frustration. And that's good for any captain."
The soon-to-be (on April 24) 38-year-old, though, avoided questions pertaining to his retirement.
Sealed and stamped. No more arguments/debates/fights :-)Quote:

One must thank God for everything he's given us.
That day in March 99 at chepauk is still one of the happiest days in my life (and saddest too,along with the dark April 2)

‘Dhoni is the best captain I have played under'
Mumbai: Over 21 years Sachin Tendulkar has given away his cricket kit — shirts, caps, pads, trousers, bat, gloves etc — for charity. But there are certain things he has decided to keep for life after winning his first World Cup; most of it is the cricket kit he carried for the final to the Wankhede Stadium on April 2.
“I will keep the shirts that I had worn during the final. I will definitely retain them. I am also going to keep the champagne bottle we opened immediately after we held the World Cup.
“The bottle I opened has been signed by the entire team. I am definitely going to retain that bottle. Then the bat and other things; they are special,'' Tendulkar told The Hindu.
What was he contemplating on his way back to the dressing room dismissed by Lasith Malinga? “Nothing. I was not contemplating anything. We had decided that we would try our best and not worry about the outcome; the result would come at the end of the game.
“So why worry about it at the beginning of the innings. Our intention was to focus on the process. We wanted to take small steps at a time.”
Play your game
What did he tell Virat Kohli? “While crossing Virat (Kohli) I just told him to play for 50 overs and we will win and also that he need not try anything extra.”
Comparing the 2003 final at Johannesburg and this one, he said, “The target then was 359 and this time 275. Here we knew that if we played for 50 overs we were going to win. I felt that the kind of batting order we had would take us through.”
Responding to the four changes made by Sri Lanka he said: “Honestly, I am not aware of what made them to make changes and I would not like to comment on their team selection. For us we were playing Sri Lanka.
“The changes made by Sri Lanka were not on our minds, we were just keen on doing our job. Of course there was some discussion on what could be their playing XI. We were not thinking whether they had picked the right combination.”
Did he dream of playing and winning the World Cup final at the Wankhede Stadium?
“That was my dream after we lost in 2007. I took up that challenge saying that the next World Cup final is in Mumbai and this is where I would want the trophy. So it was a challenge and I started working towards that.”
PTI reports
Of the six captains he has played under in a career spanning 21 years Tendulkar rated Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the best for his sharp mind and calm demeanour.
“He (Dhoni) is the best captain I have played under. He is very sharp and always alert. He reads the situation well and is open to sharing ideas. He always has discussions with bowlers, batsmen and senior players separately,” said Tendulkar.
“Another good thing is he is always calm and never shows his frustration. These are some of the qualities that have made him such a good captain. He is a fantastic captain,” he added.
Asked about outgoing India coach Gary Kirsten, Tendulkar said he wanted the South African to continue. “Personally I want Gary to continue, but I understand he has got commitments and he must have thought about this before the tournament. I respect his decision,” he said.
“It has been a pleasure to work with him, he worked as hard as the players, he is like a bowling machine, bowling 200-300 balls to the batsmen. It has always been a fabulous experience to rub shoulders with him, we will miss him,” he added.
Tendulkar feels the team peaked at the right time in the knockout stage after playing some close matches in the league stages of the tournament.
“In the knockout stage we peaked at the right time, it was most important, we knew either the batting was clicking or bowling or fielding but everything was not clicking together. But in the last three games, everybody contributed, right from seniors to juniors in the team. Results no one can guarantee, but efforts can be,” he said.
Asked about the lap on the shoulders of his teammates after winning the World Cup, Tendulkar said it was a pleasant surprise and thanked his colleagues for the gesture. “I became extremely emotional and those were tears of joy.
“It has never happened in my life. It was truly an amazing experience to do the lap. I was not expecting that and I was taken by surprise.
“I want to thank all my teammates for that gesture. What a way to end the World Cup. It was an overwhelming experience,” he said.
To a question as to how the team prepared for the World Cup, Tendulkar said the real preparation started after the South Africa series and the Bangalore camp helped the team to gel well.
“Preparation started some time ago but the real preparation was after the South Africa series when we spent 50-55 days together in the Bangalore camp, that really helped us,” he said.

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/iaf-annou.../148257-3.htmlIAF to fly MS Dhoni in a Su-30 MKI
New Delhi: The chief of Indian Air Force PV Naik on Tuesday stated that he will seek special permission from the government so that India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar can experience a flight of Su-30MKI- the best fighter plane of IAF.
"Sachin Tendulkar is already our Honorary Group Captain. Once both Sachin and Dhoni are free from their cricketing engagements, I will ensure that they get to fly Su-30MKI. They have done our country proud and it will be an honour for us," Naik told on Tuesday.
ACM Naik informed that as of now there are no plans of awarding any honorary post to the Indian captain like Tendulkar.
Dhoni who was accompanied by his wife Sakshi was there at the Air Force chief's residence for over an hour as he interacted with senior officers.
The meeting with ACM Naik was organised by former Indian team manager Wing Commander M Baladitya.
ACM Naik presented Dhoni with a plaque on behalf of the Indian Air Force.
The skipper and his wife were at ease as they interacted and answered various cricketing queries.
When the wives of the senior officers congratulated the couple, Sakshi said,"You all supported the team. Congratulate yourselves."
Someone asked about his bald look, the skipper smiled and said,"I thought World Cup is over so let's just get it off."
Dhoni was seen asking ACM Naik, a veteran fighter pilot about his flying experience. "I used to fly MiG-21, MiG-23 during my days."
He patiently answered all the cricketing queries although it was evident that he would now like a few days away from cricket.
"IPL will be very hectic," he admitted

Awesome Article by an American Journalist on kadavuL :clap: :notworthy:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine...ry/509803.html
Last Paragraph:
His agent told me he's aware of what he means to people, of the symbolic importance of being both the beginning and end of something. He is a bridge, and it is vital to the psyche of a nation that he remains intact. He gets it. That's why he never loses focus. Nothing, it turns out, is effortless. In his room, he seems tired, worn out mentally and physically. He needs a break. I ask when was the last time he had 20 days off in a row with nothing to do. No balls to hit or billions to represent.
"I'm waiting for that time to come," he says

It was first posted in espn.com (US website), which is a great thing, as there are not much takers for cricket in US. You can see the author drawing parallels from baseball to have a better understanding of cricket.
abdiya... i saw the article was dated april 7th so i thot it was published today.Quote:
