It was a ODI match between India and Australia at Sharjah, India was in trouble and also weather was against but one man was there and India won the match, same thing happened after two days ,,,,again match was against Australia and it was final of Sharjah cup ...again it was one man show and India won the cup. The man was non other then God of Indian Cricket -- Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
It was hot summer in India in July 1990 when SENSEX first time touched 1000 mark, it took around two years to make it to 2000 mark and 16 years to reach 10,000 in Feb'06 but just 1 and half year to reach 15000 in July'07.
Indian economy and sports changed a lot in last 15 years. We had several big deals on international level, be it TATA or BIRLA, our software companies went abroad, we had largest two wheeler manufacturing company and fastest growing Telecom sector in the world. We had world champion in Chess Mr. Anand, we reached to wimbledon III round( thanks to Sania Mirza ), and final of ICC Cricket world cup( thanks to Saurav Ganguly and the team ).
But in sports it was Sachin Tendulkar who redefined the rules of Cricket and in economy it was SENSEX who changed the way west looks east. Both moved the nation in last 15 years, and Indian economy and cricket both seen there Golden days in this era.
Today when both are at all time high, 15000 and going strong critics are shocked. Those who ruled out both, those who declared that game is over, now they are seeing both getting strong and mature day by day. Both gave some nice moments to Indians. Sometimes both made us sad and sometimes happy but it was the way they chaged India that matters more then anything else.
Today, being a big fan of Sachin and SENSEX i hope that both will give some more reasons for Indians to smile and some more reasons for others to feel "East or west, India is the best"
Cheers to both !!!
