Why Sachin is the most popular indian icon?

For more than 20 years, Indians have loved their game of cricket and have adored Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Recognized as a Mumbai Indian, the short, pithy and curly haired is an icon to the rest of India. His Zen-like attitude on the field and quiet demeanor off the field has revealed a personality that is unfazed by so much popularity. He rules every ones hearts because he isn’t asking for any space in anyone’s lives. He has been compared to cricketing legends from England and Australia and has gone beyond their records and his own. Considering the gossip and bad form that Beckham, Tiger Woods, Maradona, John McEnroe and Andre Aggasi have faced in their careers Sachin’s clean slate has been amazing. Like Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation’s adulation for Sachin is unwavering.
What makes Sachin a legend- his persona and his simple life. He stays clear from controversies. But if he makes a statement he stands by it. This was recently shown when he said that Mumbai belongs to entire India. He has not been corrupted by the success that he has got all these years. What makes him a super favorite with fans is also a fact that unlike other cricketers he has not been influenced by Bollywood heroines off the field! He has never been black listed on the field due to match fixing, illegal weather reporting or colluding with bookies. His angelic face brings a smile to anyone in any age group in India.
