Dhoni wants Bharat Ratna for Sachin

Chennai: Team India captain MS Dhoni said that cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar deserves the honour of being conferred the Bharat Ratna award for his services to the nation for over two decades. “Sachin deserves the Bharat Ratna. He has served the country for 21 years and would do so for a few more,” Dhoni said.

The World Cup winning skipper told a press conference on Wednesday that Tendulkar deserved the award more than any other sportsperson in the country today and if did not get it, no cricketer would ever deserve to get it.

Earlier, Maharashtra Assembly adopted a resolution on Tuesday, seeking India`s highest civilian award for Sachin Tendulkar. The state assembly unanimously recommended to the Central Government that Sachin be presented the Bharat Ratna.

"The Maharashtra Assembly has unanimously decided that Sachin must be awarded the Bharat Ratna for his accomplishments," said Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan.

May I come inside?

Actually reg. Dhoni, கொஞ்சம் முரட்டுத்தனமா இருந்துட்டேன். Largely because I haven't followed cricket much since WC 2007 -or perhaps even earlier. If Sachin bats I used to watch and nothing more. And slowly the mainstays of the One Day team were also folks I hardly knew making disinterest only easier.

Also because he won the T20 WC, a format whose popularity I wholeheartedly resent. It was the first time I did not feel 'thrilled' by an Indian victory. Kinda slotted him as sort of representative the 'new face' of cricket - a mishmash of all that bored, disfascinated, disappointed me about where cricket was headed.

I am not my interest levels will change now because of WC win but for whatever its worth, தோனியாருக்கு ஒரு

Victory attracts fans, கும்பலோட கோவிந்தா எப்பிடி எடுத்துக்கிட்டாலும் சரி.

I happened to read this three year old intree today. Very impressive

You speak like an experienced campaigner in terms of captaincy. You seem to have a real pulse of what's going on. Have you captained at any level before?

At a bigger level, I don't think I've captained anywhere.

At school I used to score regularly but I think they were quite afraid of my temperament. I was very aggressive with the guys who were not really 100% on the field. Once, in a senior district tournament game, we were playing a comparatively weak side on a matting wicket. There were some guys who dropped catches and were laughing around and all that stuff. I said, "Okay, I'm bowling." I told those three or four guys: "You stand at midwicket and do all the talking. I'll manage with the six others."

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field and I don't really worry about the result if there's great commitment on the field. That's victory for me.

I can hear MADDY saying: இதத்தானேய்யா மூணு வருசமா சொல்லிக்கிட்டு இருக்கேன்.
