Arjun Tendulkar,ball boy

CHRIS Gayle is a crowd favourite. The crowd went flat on Sachin8217;s dismissal but the Jamaican took it upon himself to liven things up. Getting the crowd involved with some banter,his was the name that echoed around the stadium. The crowd demanded Gayle be given the ball and he encouraged them to urge his skipper. He put on quite an act when Sammy did not oblige. Always the showman is Gayle.

No pressure,Rohit

THE symbolism blanketed the stadium. The moment Rohit Sharma reached reached his century,the giant screen flashed a picture of Sunil Gavaskar hugging a young Tendulkar in the late 8217;80s. Apart from Tendulkar,Sharma was the only other player to get a rousing welcome. Don8217;t read too much into it. Just saying.

Sachin silences all

WHEN images of Rahul Gandhi sitting next to Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan were beamed on the giant screen,a section of the crowd started chanting the name of Gandhi8217;s nemesis and BJP8217;s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. A Tendulkar straight drive though,had the crowd gagging. Even now,he can focus and be the focus.
