Love of a billion and that too spanning over two decades, surprised how Tendulkar doesnt find space in that list.

Love of a billion and that too spanning over two decades' date=' surprised how Tendulkar doesnt find space in that list.[/quote'] + 1 lame thread . But you never know excluding Tendulkar might be the primary motive of this thread .

[CSK Fan]

Love of a billion and that too spanning over two decades' date=' surprised how Tendulkar doesnt find space in that list.[/quote'] Because he doesnt have the 'X' factor

[BERGKAMP]

Love of a billion and that too spanning over two decades' date=' surprised how Tendulkar doesnt find space in that list.[/quote'] he is a bit of a bland character to be honest, when not considering his on field achievements.

Lolz at some of the comments. Nice to know that somebody who started dominating world as early as at age of 17-18 doesn't carry charisma or X factor.

Says the biggest bhakt of Dhoni. If Dhoni isnt able to defend 280+ against Bangla, its Indian batsmen's fault, yeah right

[The Dark Horse]

How come the legendary Vinay Kumar is not in the list :mad:

I would add a lot of sports personnel who weren't quite the greatest but still quite charismatic [1] Cricket - Symonds [2] Football - Eric Cantona [3] Tennis - Goran Ivanisevic

No Maradona?

Love of a billion and that too spanning over two decades' date=' surprised how Tendulkar doesnt find space in that list.[/quote'] No sir.. charismatic in the sense how they get the crowd going with their own off field antics or a bit of personality that complement their success.

No Maradona?

you can add.. not a complete list.

[vvvslaxman]

Tendulkar/Charisma? have anyone ever associated that term with Tendulkar? In Indian cricket i would say Pataudi belonged to that category.

[GautiMaan]

Does everything have to be about Sachin? Ganguly and Leander are India's most charismatic sportspersons

No sir.. charismatic in the sense how they get the crowd going with their own off field antics or a bit of personality that complement their success.

You have a very unique definition of charismatic then. Include Kim Kardarshian, etc also then.

[Nova]

Tendulkar is not charismatic. In cricket, I would include Viv Richards and don't forget Imran Khan.

Naa.. did she achieve anything like Mohammad Ali or Usain Bolt? :facepalm:
