Should we absolve Sachin from 1 billion expectations?

Playing Devil's Advocate why should just he be carrying the burden of expectations and in the event lose opp to earn money? And why should he always do what the fan thinks is right or important and not what he thinks or believes. It's his life.

Its not that. Sachin has always been a huge supporter of Mumbai cricket. This is his way of paying thanks to his team after 20 odd years. He sees this as a great way to give back to the people of mumbai.

That's a good point as well! .... As we know, the Mumbai team means a lot to him.

Its his life but he Sachin Tendulkar and is invariably answerable to a billion people. Not fair, but thats life, for the Greatest Cricketer to have graced the game.

Zap and I think that is a valid point. Personally I believe he has earned the right to manage his career from here on.

You guys are right. But keep a billion people happy and balancing personal goals is something only the Little Master Blaster can do. He's done a darn good job so far :bow:
