When we talk about cricket two names come into our mind that, young budding cricketers can consider as cricket gurus. They are our master blaster swashbuckling Mumbai bomber 'Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar' and the sultan of swing 'Wasim Akram'.

WHILE IT comes to cricket and even as one talk about role models, the two names that would surface would be our master blaster swashbuckling Mumbai bomber ‘Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar’ and the sultan of swing ‘Wasim Akram’.

As a youngster, anyone would definitely look upon to the master blaster as a role model. He has played over two decades and still going strong...

His bat speaks for all, and it really speaks in tons and volumes. He does not have to show his aggression other than with his bat. A little grin of his and there goes the ball off the park when he smashes the bowler with utter disdain.

One has to really learn from him how to maintain that craftsman ship while playing and also how to handle stardom. Sachin … Sachin is the chant that goes all over the stadium while he plays in any part of the world. Can’t even think that he would ever let his ego come on to his way in his illustrious career so far. I think in the current Indian Team, some of the players should have a look at it and make amends in their way of batting and behaviour. One person I would like to single out would be Sreesanth. He is an aggressive lad but he needs to channalise his aggression and energy in to his bowling and he has to let the cherry do the talk on the field rather than his mouth.

Sachin is one of the living legend and way ahead to go and he is owner of the company
‘most number of test and ODI hundreds’.

One of the sign boards at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) displayed, "Go and commit mistakes they would be ignored coz even God watch when Sachin bats."

Moving on from the batting talks to the bowling, who can forget the all time lefty bowling legend yes that’s Wasim Akram aka Wasim Bhai.

I am very sure that every left arm fast budding bowler would have Wasim as a role model. There would be the likes of the McGrath’s, Pollock’s and Lees, but while it comes to leftarm bowlers, the list would not have those many names featured in it. Sometimes, I do feel that he used to talk with the ball. One thing to worry as a batsman was he could bowl six different deliveries in a single over. The way he had command over the ball was really commendable. He could move the ball either ways and he was very lethal with his ‘in swinging yorkers’ and ‘reverse swing’

Little would you know that he was a diabetic and used to take insulin every day, even on the match day. Leading a life as a diabetic patient is difficult for a person, so, hats off to this left handed role model of mine.

	As the writer rightly points to, the biggest virtue one can learn from the master is how to maintain that craftsman ship and also how to handle stardom.
