I remember him waging lone battles in lost causes, each time coming in at next to nothing for two. The which brought India from 6 for two to the doorstep of victory against a rampaging Akram, Waqar and Saqlain Mushtaq in the fourth innings at Chennai. I remember him turning things around with a magical second innings that gave Shane Warne nightmares and won the Test and virtually the series for India in a fascinating counter attack under pressure. In the new century, in spite of a better Indian batting order around him, lone hands were often required.
Rescuing the team from 45 for four at the Bloemfontein with a murderous and batting out time to save the match from 11 for two in the second innings at Calcutta, toting up against the West Indies.
For 20 years and more he has come in to bat with enormous expectations, seldom has there been a respectable score on the board and even now battling the odds after quick loss of wickets. Through the amazing last few years, he has won an emotional Test match against England with a fourth innings hundred chasing down a steep total on a turner. He has walked in to bat at 38 for two chasing against Australia and has won the match with and 53 not out.
He has battled the pace of Dale Steyn to score two hundreds in South Africa at the age of 37, each time coming into a boiling cauldron of heat and pressure. I remember him winning the VB Series finals with two flawless demonstrations of batting, taking India to the final in the World Cup with a calculated assault on Shoaib Akhtar that left all speechless except the bowler who now answers with a pen.
And he achieved his goal of a World Cup win, topping the batting averages yet again, changing the match in the semi final, with a chancy yet colossally important An awesome total of 99 centuries, 30, runs — several days of light between him and his contemporaries. In Test match wins, more than 5, runs with 20 centuries. India has won 61 Tests when he has played — they had won all 43 matches in the 57 years before he made his debut.
In ODI finals he averages In won finals he averages Chasing in finals, what people would consider high pressure, he averages 54 with a strike rate of Suprakash Roy , cognitive psychologist and researcher in Leiden Medisch Centrum who provides a scientific basis for all the hideous mutilation of facts. This is the primary reason, but there are other external influences as well. Is there a limit to how much they can stoop to bring an icon like Tendulkar down? They repeat every failure over and over again, in numerous sensation-pandering television channels with the same intention of providing crude media masala.
Repetition does lead to more and more acceptance of fables as facts. It is called, with minor variations, misinformation effect, mere exposure effect and validity effect.
One can see the study of such effects in the works of Arkes, Hackett and Boehm in , Schwartz in It takes on the form of recognition memory and is probably an automated process. Hence, people are very difficult to convince even when they face data, since they believe what they remember.
However, memory is nothing but a largely reconstructed structure based on current knowledge, beliefs and goals. The effect occurs for true and false facts equally. Advertising and propaganda are excellent examples. Natural in a country where zonal bias tries creating own regional gods by pulling down legitimate greats. Also speaks volumes for a culture where Match ka Mujrim is so popular.
I recall a line, even while keeping the Little Master of Bandra in mind we have to say that the No 1 batsman in current world cricket is … And in , when one demigod was sure of the axe, they reported that how could Sachin stay in the team even after his embarrassing dismissal? You know, I met one of these gentlemen who wrote such nonsense. At the Oval. Unlike his writings, he looks a decent fellow.
That is the availability heuristic. For k and also other letters, almost unanimously — or an overwhelmingly statistically significant part of the participants — concluded that the number of words beginning with the letter was more. However, the actual truth is the opposite. With runs in 85 matches and an average of However, just like two sides of a coin, he has received often criticism, mainly for batting 'too slowly' on some occasions.
The discussion picked up pace during India's Test series against Australia Down Under, where he scored runs in four matches at a strike-rate of In the subsequent series against England, the Rajkot-born batter registered runs in four matches, with his strike-rate column reading Reacting to the flak the batsman has been copping recently, batting great Sachin Tendulkar , in an interview to PTI, said that Pujara's style has led to India's success and that people should appreciate him instead of criticising him.
It's not always going about and maintaining a strike-rate and in Test cricket, you need different kind of planning and different kind of players to fit into your team," Tendulkar said. He added: "It's like five fingers in your hands. Each finger has a different role and Pujara is an integral part of our team. I really like what Pujara has done for India. Rather than scrutinising his each innings, we should be appreciative of what he has done for India.
Tendulkar feels that people's perspective has changed because of T20 where only one skill - hitting the ball out of park - is appreciated.
