Vote For Sachin

If one were to decide on the biggest forces that have led India to its current dominance in world cricket Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar would not be a difficult name to pick. One of the foremost guiding forces of Indian cricket, he has fearlessly taken on some of the best bowlers of our times, single handedly taking India to victory on countless occasions.
The amazing aspect of his career is that apart from contributing as a player, he has also mentored the youngsters in the team which means he has also doubled up almost as a coach making the job of people like Gary Kirsten easier. He has showed us all that it is important to evolve through one's career and not just limit oneself to a lone solitary role.
If you have ever wondered how you could pay tribute to this wonderful cricketer, then this is your chance. ICC has identified five cricketers for the People's Choice Awards on the basis of interesting parameters like innovation, decision making skills and performance under pressure.
