After Sir Viv Richards, sports people love Sachin batting. While fielding, he is all over the field, putting all his efforts in the match. He neither worries about his fellow players nor about the public while in field. His whole concentration was towards his game. He is biggest cricket icon of his times. He is highly principled and balanced. He strikes with perfection, waits for the opportunity and never makes a wrong move while at strike. He knows the temperament of the bowlers and plays any kind of bowler with ease. His anticipation of the ball and it’s placement in line with his judgement. He is a great player both in orthodox shots, back foot and front foot punch and modern stokes. He always has a composed temper and calm player.
