10 reasons why the cricket world will miss Sachin Tendulkar

2. Master Class- technique, grace and solidity personified

Described as the most wholesome batsman of his time, Sachin’s stance is based on complete balance and perfect head position when facing a delivery.

He doesn’t indulge in unnecessary flourishes or flashy maneuvers, and quite surprisingly, he has little preference for the slow pitches on offer in the subcontinent.

Uniquely, Sachin has the habit of punching the ball in the direction he wants it to go. The straight drive as well as the cover drive are examples of his compactness at the crease; now vintage stuff for the youthful fans of the Master.

He has also shown an amazing ability to adapt to his body’s needs and keep scoring consistently. Not many batsmen in the world, past or present, have managed to do so.

Blending classical technique with raw aggression and fluid grace, Sachin in full flow is a sight for sore eyes!
