Time Magazine's quote on Sachin:
"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest
bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet
to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de
France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion
Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When
Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company,
Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies,
Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin
Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan
Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was
having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he
excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We
have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another
Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."
