Tendulkar's story

Siddhartha Mishra looks back at the 18 years of Sachin Tendulkar's international career and writes in the Times of India that Tendulkar hasn't necessarily changed his nature. Rather, he has grown into it empowered by the Zen-like wisdom that comparison with his own self has brought.

That is the charm of his story: that the subtext is more significant than the actual result. And the subtext reads: for a person who has the temerity to fail as much as he has the audacity to seek greatness, the illusion of performance is never incongruous to the pattern of his development.
