Tendulkar wears pressure with a quiet dignity

Sachin Tendulkar’s innings in Trent Bridge was stirring, writes Rohit Brijnath, in the Hindu. He feels that the image of Tendulkar in his pomp in the mid-nineties has been replaced by that of the more limited, workmanlike Tendulkar of today in the mind of the cricket public.
Has Tendulkar ‘not’ taken the pressure? Have these 18 years of staying sane and performing as a nation howls for runs been just, you know, a stroll in a Bandra park? Was all that rescuing of India, all those forgotten years ago, when opponents used to say, openly, “Get Tendu out and India’s shoulders droop”, no big deal? Damn, he ate a pressure for breakfast Tiger Woods would have choked on.
