‘God is back’
Genius, the old adage goes, is forever. Anand Vasu at Cricinfo, it seems, couldn’t agree more. And who can blame him? Yesterday, six months since he last played an international game of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar showed the world of cricket why, with the exception of Brian Lara, he has no match.
Following the text based commentary on Cricinfo, the sense of excitement at the ground was almost tangible; the prospect of Sachin returning – the Sachin of old whose shot-making rendered experienced writers almost wordless - was too much for Indian cricket fans.
‘God is back’, a journalist was supposed to have said yesterday.
Indeed.
Welcome back, Sachin. The world of cricket missed you.
