OOPS! He did it again!

Just when everyone thought we are done with him, here comes the good news. Sachin Tendulkar signs a new $40 million contract with International marketing major Saatchi and Saatchi. The contract is for 3 years with chances of subsequent renewal after completion. Certainly this means that he is going to be around for next 3 years at least. The best part being it reflects his self belief in performing up to the expectations of every one and that is what matters, self belief! Though it came as a surprise to me, considering the hype and hoopla over the young blood in Indian cricket, some deliberation on the matter makes the affair quite clear.

Indian cricketers have an uncanny ability to flatter but they are deceiving. Look at, Parthiv Patel, Mohammad kaif, VVS, Zaheer Khan, and even Sehwag. Every one promised so much at the start at their careers and no sooner they found the sponsors they lost their place in the team.

Under these circumstances cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid offer a risk free investment. They may be out of form, injured or rested but they have the highest probability of blasting their way into limelight.

With the world cup coming up there is no question of ignoring Sachin as his impressive world cup record speaks volume about his ability to perform in big cricket events! So quite a Just move from Saatchi n Sachin!
