Sachin Tendulkar is a real legend!

Those of you who know me know that I am not someone who is honestly interested in or follow cricket as such. I guess it comes from the fact that I have spend most of my live in Germany, where cricket isn’t really played.

But at the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour press conference I for the first-time experienced Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar live and I have to say, the Master Blaster or Sachin the Great, whatever you want to call him, is really, really impressive.

Surely I have seen him bat on television on the one or the other occasion, but not really followed him through his career though family and friends have spoken about what a legend he is.

Though the Coca Coca India event to welcome the FIFA World Cup Trophy once more in Kolkata on its worldwide tour was about the beautiful game of football, When the name Sachin was first announced most of the audience went into raptures and applauded once he got on stage, while there was a frenzy to click pictures of him.

And yes, Sachin is impressive in the way he speaks, very thoughtful in what he says, witty at times as well and what I loved most, a supporter of sports and Indian sports persons.

And that after his retirement is the best way that a sporting legend like him can support and help India to become a real sporting nation.
