“Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.” - BBC Sports “On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt at one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing a century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This genius can stop time in India!” - Peter Roebuck “Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord is watching.” - A placard at the Sydney Cricket Ground “I don’t know cricket, I don’t know how Sachin plays. But I still try to watch him playing because I want to know why my country’s economy goes down 0.5% when he’s batting.” - Barack Obama “Gentlemen, he is the best batsman I have seen in my life. And unlike most of you, I have seen Bradman bat.” - John Woodcock (English journalist) “He is someone sent from up there to play cricket and go back.” - Ravi Shastri “If Sachin bats well, India sleeps well.” - Harsha Bhogle

It wouldn't be fair to call Sachin the G.O.A.T. because I never saw Viv Richards bat or anyone before him, but Sachin is the greatest batsman of his era and from thereon. He batted against the best of bowlers in their peak form and still has that kind of record, it;s just mind boggling

The quality of bowlers that most of these guys faced was much better than what Kohli has faced. ODI’s nowadays are a joke, every team has 1-2 batsmen averaging above 50, so ODI stats can’t be taken seriously. Test matches are the real deal where kohli doesn’t even come in top 20 of all time

From a wonderboy at age 16 who exploded on to the world stage to his retirement after almost a quarter of a century Tendulkar persistently lived up to the expectations of more than a billion Indians.A true legend of the game and undoubtedly one of the greatest batsman ever.
