SACHIN GENIUS OR BOGUS?






Sachin Tendulkar is a genius. But a recent survey by Harvard University concludes that it takes 10,000 hours of practice for anyone to become a Genius in their respective field.
Beethoven and Albert Einstein, most definitely. Sachin Tendulkar?.
Sachin Tendulkar, with 20 years of cricket behind him, has 149 Test matches and 435 ODIs. After some maths, Sachin has put in 4237 hours of actual matches. Given 4 hours of Practice before every match day, it gives him another 2336 hours of practice. With a little help from our beloved Calcy, the Master Blaster has practised cricket for - *trumpets* - 6573 hours.
Just read what Shane Warne said on Sachin Tendular:
You have to watch cricket in India to truly appreciate the pressure that Sachin Tendulkar is under every time he bats. They seem to want a wicket to fall even though it is their own side that will suffer. This is cricket as Sachin has known it since the age of 16.
If you believe Warne, you’ve got a Genius for India. If you go by Harvard, he is not a Genius. Go Fish.
