Every cricket fan would have guessed what this Wrytup is going to be about. And for those who aren't the fans of cricket, they must have heard about this short yet, glorious incident which happened with non-other than Mr Sachin Tendulkar. It's that classic incidence from the past of cricket when the God of cricket was in making. It was Sachin Tendulkar's fourth test match.

It was India Vs Pakistan in Sailkot, Pakistan. Sachin's fourth test match was going to be a tough one and a chance for him to prove himself that he's worth it. The Ind-Pak series was 0-0 after three tests. However, India was leading with 64 runs in the first inning, Pakistan hit back in the second innings with its two master bowlers, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis reducing India to 34 runs and 4 wickets. India was falling towards losing the test as well as the series.

In walked the chubby-faced and curly haired new kid, Sachin Tendulkar to join Navjot Singh Sidhhu who was already on the cris. Pakistan had already sent legends like Sanjay Manzarekar, Muhammad Azharuddin and Ravi Shashtri back to the pavilion. Sachin was new and there was no wave of hope for the team.

Now as the game continued further, Sachin came on the strike. He was bowled by Waqar Younis. Waqar threw a nasty bouncer which hit straight the little boy's nose. His nose started to bleed immediately and he layed down on the ground. The India physio ran towards the injured Sachin. Pakistani players also gathered around to watch the bloody disaster.

Navjot Sidhu ran towards Sachin and advised him to go back to the pavilion and take a rest until his nose gets fixed. The Indian physio also said him to take a rest. But. the focused boy brushed them away. 'The main khelega' he said. 'I'll play'. with all of his gloves and t-shirt bleeding. For him it was only one thing bothering, India lags behind. A genius was born.

The little man played his part excellently reaching 57 runs and a partnership with Sidhhu of 101 runs. 'Main Khelega', these two words separated him from a hard worker to a smart worker.

Similarly, most of the people give up in their life when they face difficulties which are out of their reach, they throw the towel call it quits. Why? Instead, put your hands up and keep on performing the task. You may not understand what's going on right now, but you'll understand it after some time. Things take time to heal, but that's not the end of the journey.

Over years Sachin has shown up his best entertaining game, which led him to become the God of Cricket.

So, next time you feel like giving up, its time to say, 'Main Khelega'.
