THE CAPTAINCY CRISIS
Tendulkar was made the captain of the side in 1996 at the age of 23, but with 7 years of experience
behind him. A poor record, the egos of senior players to manage, and an avalanche of internal
conflict, couldn’t quite dent Tendulkar’s performances with the bat, as he continued to score runs
despite India being blanked by the opposition. In his second tenure as captain, which was thrust upon
him without his contest, India lost a Test series to South Africa at home and Tendulkar’s own form was
taking a hit, and he stepped down from captaincy. Sourav Ganguly took over as the leader in 2000,
with the hopes of building a new Indian team amidst the match-fixing scandal that had taken the
cricket world by storm.
Captaincy Record
You may have watched the Beatles live, you may have
witnessed Muhammad Ali at Time Square. A select few
living souls may have even watched the Don bat. Yet there is
something unmatched about the rising pulse, the bursting
eardrums, and the blinding tears as one involuntarily starts
to chant along with the enchanted crowd. That show-
stopping icon that enchanted a billion - that emotion that
once entranced a nation - Sachin Tendulkar....
