At the cost of reiterating an oft-repeated phrase, it's like flicking a switch.
He lifts his willow to the heavens, sending the crowd into a frenzy. 40,000 people of different castes, creed and colours erupt as one.
And then when the same 40,000 wait with baited breath and rapt attention fearing the worst, he turns around, tucks his bat under his arm and walks away as silence engulfs the stadium. It actually is like he flicks a switch.
It isn't just the runs he takes that add to his greatness. It is also the walks he makes.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar: My Lord and My God.
