Learning a new shot?
Sachin made Rajya Sabha MP!
How well will he play on this pitch is what all Newspapers are screaming.
Quite a few of Sports writers and ex Cricket stars have termed it a wrong step by Sachin.
Even for any of the team's issues he has not stood up how can he stand for any cause in the Parliament many wonder.
It is not like accepting
Boost ad simply saying yes to the MP role say many.
In the first match after his nomination to the Upper House Tendulkar flopped for Mumbai Indians against Delhi Dare Devils.
But One Newspaper linking his failure in that match to his becoming MP..... biggest joke of the day!
One of the fine Headings by a columnist:
Sachin Tendulkar in Parliament: House that?

The
tangled skein of India’s political system is, perhaps, too complex for
an ordinary citizen’s comprehension. The politics here is fast becoming
a contact sport and for a gentleman like Sachin Tendulkar, there could
be hardly any place in it. The jury is out on his elevation to the
Rajya Sabha, but on the face of it the nomination looks a politically
motivated decision.
This was not an
out-of-nowhere nomination. His consent, obviously, has been obtained
before the announcement was made. Although it is an apolitical
appointment, there is every reason to believe that he has allowed his
popularity and brand image to be exploited by the ruling Congress party.
For
a party reeling under corruption scandals in high places, the Little
Master provided the tool with which it could win back some lost ground.
It was a populist move that was played to the gallery and Tendulkar,
wittingly or unwittingly, agreed to be used by a party in trouble.
Also, by visiting the 10 Janpath, he has made his political leanings
clear. Engagement with Tendulkar effectively brings in votes. He seems
to have failed to see the ulterior interest of the ruling party.
