The
Year is 2016
A
eleven year old kid was watching the India Vs Australia ODI live on TV.
“its
9pm already. When will Papa come? He has already missed Virat Kohli’s half
century.”
Suddenly
the doorbell rings.
“Ma,Papa
has come! said the excited kid.”
The
thirty-five year old man loosen his tie, and sat on the sofa. His wife brought
some lemonade for him. Taking the glass, he asked, “what’s the score?” its
175–1 Pa.” THe drinks break completed,the sponsors advertisements over,the
match returned live.
The
Austrian fast bowler bowled an excellent yorler and Virat was clean bowled.
“Oh!
And there is Kholi, three short of century. what would have been an excellent
hundred.”said Harsha Bhogle.
The
father looked at his son. The son was a bit sad but shrugged and said, “Don’t
worry Dad. Kohli is out but the score is good and we have a finisher who is in
good form!”
The
father smiled.”Yes son the match is just started.”
Let see
What it was like in 1996
A
eleven year old kid was watching the India Vs Australia ODI live on TV.
“its
9pm already. When will Papa come? He has already missed Sachin’s half century.”
Suddenly
the doorbell rings.
“Ma,Papa
has come! said the excited kid.”
The
thirty-five year old man kept his suitcase aside, and sat on the chair. His
wife brought some lemonade for him. Taking the glass, he asked, “what’s
Sachin’s score?” Sachin is on 91 Pa.” The drinks break completed,the sponsors
advertisements over,the match returned live.
The
Australian fast bowler bowled an excellent bouncer and Sachin was caught out,
as he mistimed the pull shot.
“Oh!
And there is Sachin, nine short of century, what would have been an excellent
century.” Said Harsha Bhogle.
The
father looked at his son.The son was very sad and looked at his Dad for hope.
“Now what, Dad? Sachin is out.” Tears were starting to form in the little
child’s eyes.
The
father walked to the TV, switched off and remove the plug. “Sachin is out.Enough
cricket for today. Go and sleep now.” his face was solemn.
The kid
understood his father’s feelings,and went to bed. He thought about the careless
shot. He controlled his tears, as his mother caressed him.
The
father still in the hall shook his head,”The match is over.”
This is
humble attempt to portray the difference between Sachin and Virat. Both might
be excellent cricketers, no doubt.May be Virat will breaks Sachin’s records
someday.(some, no one can beat all of them).
“Virat is a star, Sachin is an emotion.”
