The reactions varied to batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's nomination to the Rajya Sabha, with some welcoming the move and others critical of his new role, which will deprive him from playing. Social activist Anna Hazare, who is in Mumbai for a two-day trip for consultations on the Lokayukta bill, welcomed the move. However, he mentioned that he is more interested in a corruption-free nation more than anything else at this point.
Information and broadcasting minister Ambika Soni in New Delhi on Thursday hailed the nomination of Sachin Tendulkar for Rajya Sabha saying it was a "very good step".
She appreciated UPA's initiative in nominating Tendulkar as a member of RS saying, "Whenever Congress is in government, it has always nominated such personalities, which leads to an enviornment of energy and encouragement in the country."
Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray also reserved his comments. “Whether or not the Congress gives Tendulkar a Rajya Sabha seat or not, it is between them. I do not want to say anything about this,” he said.
However, Congress MP from north Mumbai Sanjay Nirupam welcomed the move. “Sachin deserves every bit and more. He also deserves a Bharat Ratna. I whole heartedly welcome this decision,” he said.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Madhav Bhandari, however, said: “As a fan of Tendulkar, I will welcome this move, but as an observer of politics, it will be like keeping him away from his biggest passion - cricket. I also see this as a trick to keep Tendulkar from a Bharat Ratna.”
Commoners, on the other hand, were baffled even at the possibility of Tendulkar as a Rajya Sabha member.
“I am perplexed. Who recommended him? What were they thinking? And tell me what will he do on that position? Sachin is a good cricketer and let them stay in the field of cricket and achieve greater heights,” said Deep Vora, a software professional.
Agreed another Mumbaikar Raghavendra BR, a musician. “Sachin is an achiever in his own right. But I don't quite agree with him being nominated for Rajya Sabha, especially, with his busy schedule,” he said.
“Sachin never seemed to have any inclination towards politics or working of the parliament. I wonder if he has the time to get political, given that his passion for Cricket is so strong. However knowing the personality that he is, I am sure he could do a lot of good to cricketing in India,” said Ajinkya Raut, a dentist and a cricket fan.

Sachin Tendulkar has been called the God of cricket. For most individuals that would be an unbearable burden. But then few individuals could even dream of posting such statistics as a 100 international centuries, or over 15000 test runs, the first batsman to get a double century in one-day internationals.
And then again, the purists will say, don't look at numbers, look at his game. Then, they too will sigh at the craft of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the man with almost every stroke in the book.
What separates the Master Blaster from others is his unmatched ability to adapt to format, physical conditions and the situation the team is in; this has assisted him in amassing runs in all parts of the world.
He is revered. And yet when he takes over a year to make his 100th ton, an incredible statistic, there are those who point out that India lost to Bangladesh in the effort to notch that hundred. Sachin is compelled to explain that he plays for the team, that he will continue playing. And it goes on - a national obsession. We heard it all before. At heated canteen debates, on long facebook discussions, in every nook-and-cranny of the country.
Born in Mumbai on April 24, 1973, his father Ramesh named him after music composer, Sachin Dev Burman. But it was his elder brother Ajit who encouraged Sachin to take up cricket and took the 12-year-old to Mumbai's legendary cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar. The master-blaster still credits 'Achrekar Sir' with building his technique and powers of concentration
Sachin Tendulkar has been talked about ever since he notched a 664-run partnership with Vinod Kambli as a schoolboy playing in the Harris Shield, an inter-school tournament. At 14, Tendulkar was a ball-boy for India's match against Zimbabwe at the Wankhede Stadium during the 1987 World Cup; few would have thought that they had caught a glimpse of greatness.
Sunil Gavaskar, who was the most successful Test batsman of that era, presented the promising youngster a pair of his own ultra-light pads, a gesture that Sachin says was the biggest encouragement for him. He said that after smashing Gavaskar's long-standing record for the most number of Test centuries.
Tendulkar scored 100 not out in his debut first-class match for Bombay against Gujarat and went on to score centuries on his debut in the Deodhar and Duleep Trophy.
He was selected to play for the Indian side in the 1989 tour to Pakistan. His performances were not thoroughly convincing, but what was credible was his urge to perform despite being hit by potentially lethal bouncers from the Pakistan pacers.
Sachin's first century came almost a year later on the tour to England, he scored an unbeaten 119 and was highly praised for his style and discipline. He had five Test tons before he turned 20 and was a the youngest to reach a 1000 runs in Test cricket.
His flamboyant display not only allowed him to score runs freely but also went a long way in intimidating the bowlers. Sachin went on to establish an indispensable position in the Indian middle order. Though he waited 79 innings to get to his first ODI hundred (in 1994, against Australia, in Colombo), Sachin was the first to get to 10,000 runs in one-day cricket and has scored 49 centuries in that format.
At a time when Indian cricket lost track of its past glory and balance, Sachin Tendulkar seemed to be the only guiding light. The Indian batting was virtually circled around Sachin Tendulkar, inviting awe and anticipation to his presence on the field. Sachin would go on to break the records of the most number of runs and centuries in either format of the game. He also scored the first double century in One Day Internationals, almost 40 years after the format was introduced.
He has been widely compared with the greatest batsman of all time, Don Bradman, who himself admitted that Sachin's style was the closest to that of his own.
Tendulkar's achievements hold even more significance considering the weight of expectations carried by him. He is the only Indian cricketer to get the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the Arjuna Award, the Padma Shri and the Padma Vibhushan ( India's second-highest civilian honour). Sachin is also a honorary Group Captain in the Indian Air Force.
Surprising as it may sound, the 39-year old, possesses child-like enthusiasm for the sport, a fact revealed by former teammate Rahul Dravid. A passion that is shared by his family ; his wife Anjali doesn't eat or drink whenever Sachin is at the crease.
By Sachin's own admission, winning the World Cup in 2011 was his 'biggest dream' come true.
The only question mark in an otherwise glittering career is Sachin's captaincy record. In the 25 tests he captained India in, he won just 4 and lost nine In the 73 one-dayers he was captain, India managed to win just 23.
His style and approach have changed over the past few years. Some say it is to elongate his career while some say it is the sport that has brought about the change. But the most suitable explanation seems to be the evolution of a man who has never shown signs of complacency despite having almost every record in the book. Sachin may use the heaviest bat in international cricket (over 3.2 pounds) but what is admirable is that after 23 years of international cricket, it remains one of the broadest that there is.
In a nutshell, Sachin Tendulkar turned a sport into a religion, something that no one had ever done.

Sachin Tendulkar was supposed to wake up in the afternoon on Saturday. India had played and lost their Asia Cup match to Bangladesh in a day-night match on Friday and face Pakistan in a do-or-die battle on Sunday. But sticking to his word that he would speak to the posse of Indian media after he got to his milestone, Tendulkar was downstairs right on time. Just a cup of coffee without sugar was surely not enough to help him overcome the mental fatigue after achieving a personal milestone that might never be emulated.
Excerpts from that interaction...
Is this wait compared with (Roger) Federer's wait for French Open?
I don't know obviously what Federer had gone through but I am sure it was tough. I would not compare the 100th 100 with the French Open, rather it would be the World Cup. I had to wait 22 years, and that wait was much longer. It is all about belief, I knew it will come but it is as important that you don't take things for granted and keep working the way you usually do.
There is one thing I can put my hand up and say, that I am 100% sure it is due to my effort and commitment. If these were lacking then there would have been a question mark but in those areas, in my book, I scored a 100 out of 100. Scoring runs and not scoring runs will always be a part of a career, and you can experience that when you have played long enough. I was pretty confident about what I was doing and the technique was right and I had the right people around me and I want to thank them.
Anticipation and pressure...
The anticipation and disappointment on not getting this hundred was way too greater than anything else. I don't know how to explain to you. I wish there was someone to guide me, about how to deal with this. I am not complaining, but it happened for the first time. It has been a tough journey. My family and friends stood right behind me.
Your top five hundreds…
Perth I would say (114 in 1992). Something that means a lot to me is the hundred at Chennai (against England) in 2009. That was really, really important to me because of what had happened before that. Yes, the first 100 (at Manchester 119 not out in 1990), Chennai (136 against Pakistan 1999), and Sydney when I scored 241* (in 2004)
The double ton against Bangladesh?
Possibly the funniest incident of my life, took place in that match. I was batting with Anil (Kumble) and while taking a run and passing him, I told him ‘keep an eye out for the second run’. And, while taking the second I saw that the throw was good and I stopped and Anil ran. But the keeper missed and I returned to my crease but because I was going for the second run, Anil kept running and actually twice we ran in the same direction and three times we were about to get out but we did not, and we had a good laugh.
Rahul Dravid spoke of the role the physios and masseurs play...
Absolutely, without the physio and masseur life would be difficult, really difficult. I'd like to thank all of them who helped me when I was in desperate need. There are a lot of things which happen outside the field, and that helps you prepare for the match. Whatever happens behind the scenes is never discussed, but they are equally a part of my success.
A knock through tremendous pain?
I have played a lot of innings like that. A specific innings that comes to mind is when I got that double century (against South Africa) at Gwalior. I remember before that game I was lying on the physio's table, getting various treatments and my whole body was in trouble.
All we were discussing was that let us win the series, and then I am going to request the BCCI for a break from the third match because I am completely exhausted, I couldn't even stand on the field. I was that exhausted physically and mentally.
To deal with injuries is not easy, and at my age it becomes even more difficult. That was the case even before I played that game. But I went to the ground and forgot all about that. When you are focused, you are willing to find a path and reach a destination of winning that match. Then after the game I was asked ‘do you remember what you had said before the match?’ It happens to everyone and sometimes you go through that more than others.
On his children Arjun and Sara…
It's important they lead a normal childhood and not get surrounded by the media all the time. It’s alright to get that when Arjun is matured enough. But right now, he is madly in love with cricket and with all this attention and pressure it shouldn't be that he starts hating all this.
