Super Sunday !!!

It was truly a Super Sunday for India as Indian teams won both in Kualalumpur(Under19 World Cup)and in Sydney(first one of the best of three finals).Sachin Tendulkar played a masterful knock and helped India to gain a 1-0 lead over Australia in the best of three finals of this tri-series.Though,India lost two of its earlier three matches with Australia,but in all the three league matches India was competitive and gave the Kangaroos a run for their money.
After a long time ,one saw Sachin playing a match-winning knock while chasing a decent total.All the news channels(especially Aaj Tak :Sabse Fake)would now go on praising Sachin until his next failure.A sense of proportion is totally lacking in the news media.One day they raise a person to a very high pedestal and the very next day they pull that person down.But icons like Sachin deserve much better treatment.People are quick to present statistics to show that Sachin does not have a very good(mind you,by his own high standards)record in finals and conveniently forget that most of the times the team makes it to the finals because of his stellar performances.Great people often get trapped in their own greatness and Sachin is no exception.
