This piece is not for those who consider Sachin Tendulkar to be a holy cow, who think it is blasphemous to examine his game and impact more closely. There are too many of these people in India particularly, and it is a sign of how blinkered our media is that we get hardly any arguments in this regard. Instead, we just get mindless comparisons with Brian Lara for the crown of the best batsman in the world.
The truth however is that Tendulkar has not even been India’s best batsman in the last five years, let alone the world’s. His ability to deliver decisively under pressure has been highly suspect. He rarely wins his team any matches on his steam, and most importantly, sometimes has appeared to put his individual gains over the team’s. At the very least, it deserves a debate.
