Tendulkar can now rightly lay claim to the title of being the greatest batsman in cricket history.

Walter Cronkite
Image
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
