- Me neither.
He used to be so full
of confidence that...
...he would say, this match is mine,
I am going to win it for the team.
- Sachin, thank you for
entertaining us today.
- Yeah, this has always
been a special game for us.
- And it's the 4th World
Cup we've beaten them in a row.
- And nothing means
more than this to us.
And this is an emphatic
win for India.
So a journey that started
on the 12th of February...
...has ended up with them being
in the Final of the World Cup.
We were all charged up
looking forward to the Final.
The biggest game of my life...
So Australia have got 359 for 2.
I knew it was a Herculean
task to chase those runs.
We wanted to sort of
break that target down...
The question was,
can we hit 50 boundaries in 50 overs?
Difficult... but we can.
Now we're left with 250 balls.
Can we score 160 runs in 250 balls?
Yes, we can.
I played one pull shot...
...and the ball took the top edge of
the bat and went right up in the air...
I am like praying...
please let him drop the catch.
Sometimes they drop.
One in a hundred.
Unfonunately,
none of the other batsmen also scored.
Everyone was trying to
That's in the air,
should be taken.
World Cup for Australia.
A comprehensive win here
by 125 runs.
- And the Man of the Tournament
is Mr. Sachin Tendulkar.
When I got back from South Africa...
...friends who had come
to receive me asked...
"Where is the gold bat you won?"
I said, "What gold bat?"
They said, "The Man of the
Tournament Bat that you got."
I had just packed and
checked the Golden Bat in.
The other trophy
meant everything to me...
...and it was in their dressing room.
Not ours...
My body was not in
a great shape at that time.
I was finding it difficult
to keep myself injury free.
For him, God is very, very important.
Maybe things have happened
that have made him believe.
He started playing
international cricket at 16.
Before his body was ready.
It was either his knee,
or groin, or his back...
...the injures kept coming.
He's got a crack in his
toe that will never heal.
Can you imagine playing
international cricket all your life...
...without being able
to take weight on your toe?
The toughest injury to deal
with was my tennis elbow injury.
That pain was excruciating.
Even opening the door, or picking
up a glass of water was painful.
Everyone was suggesting something...
...and I was prepared to try anything.
Sachin won't be able to play in
Troubled with tennis elbow...
...Sachin Tendulkar just
recently had a scan in London.
- Are you sticking to
your old trusted heavy bat?
- I am sticking to what
I feel comfonable with...
...not what other people
feel comfonable with.
- It's all been done in
consultation with the doctors...
...who have actually examined my injury.
- Because there have been a lot of
doctors who have not even met me...
...and they know what
is wrong with my elbow.
- I really find that funny.
Everytime Tendulkar got an injury...
...lndia got to know a little
No one knew what a tennis
elbow was for heaven's sake...
...until Tendulkar got a tennis elbow.
10 or 12-year-old kids...
...would stop the ball
10 yards away from me.
That particular experience
gave me nightmares.
I thought, my carrier's over.
I would have to tell him that...
...you've played for so many years.
Nobody else has played so long.
Your body has supported
you for so many years...
...think positively.
I used to call my friends
and say that I want to see you.
I would say, "Bloody hell
what's he doing awake at 4am?"
I would pray to God...
...that please don't let
my career end like this.
You've to give me another chance.
A famous father and his
son enjoying a game of cricket.
It was a forced rest
forSachin Tendulkar...
...after his tennis elbow surgery.
Nearly three months later he began
short sessions with the bat at the nets.
His physios would give
him fixed programs like...
...he must play 40 balls in a day.
He would end up playing
140 balls in a day!
He would climb 10 storeys
up and down for fitness...
...so that whenever he recovers
from his elbow injury...
...he's match-fit.
For the average Mumbaikar,
Sachin back at the nets...
...after a tennis elbow injury,
means good news for Indian cricket.
- Sachin's come through
today pretty well.
- We just need to see how he
responds to that the next day.
While I was walking out
on the field to bat again...
...l looked up and thanked
God for this moment in my life.
I was returning after an injury.
I got a loud, standing ovation.
There's no bigger moment
than this for a sportsman.
This is what he lives for.
Back then,
along with congratulating him...
...l also said that now
I am raising the bar for you.
You must now score 100 centuries.
He laughed as he went in.
- Even I didn't know,
until I switched on the TV.
- My picture with Sachin in the papers"
- He's scored thirty-five 100s.
What a man!
- Say something on Sachin.
- Say something on Sachin.
- Let me think... Next!
- He can't bat.
- Great feeling.
- A special day for him,
for a special person, special champion.
- I saw his first 100 as well,
I was on the balcony.
- I heard Adidas gave him a shoe.
- It said Sachin 35.
- They are making another one,
Anil 35...
...but that's my age.
- Well, he's been great,
you know... for Indian cricket.
- But I am better.
- I think Boost is the
secret of his energy.
- Thank you, guys-
- It's a wonderful team,
and we've been through ups and downs.
- But every time the
team has stuck together.
- I hope we continue to do this.
- And we'll all get the
World Cup in 2007, which is...
...my dream,
and I am sure it is our dream.
- Hopefully, we will do that.
- Thank you so much.
- This is the most exciting job in cricket.
- One of the most challenging jobs
in cricket and I look forward to...
...the opportunity and the
honour to coach India.
There's no doubt that Greg
Chappell is a very accomplished coach.
He's not a warm and
fuzzy figure by any means.
Perhaps he didn't understand as much
about Indian cricket politics as he thought.
When he had joined the team, few
senior players were telling me that...
...l don't think this coach
is doing any good to our team.
He should change his attitude.
- I've had about a gutful...
- If I see one more batsman just
waste his time in the nets...
...l'm going to scream.
He was like a school headmaster.
His theory was very simple...
...divide and rule.
- It's a tough job.
Today Greg must tell
India's biggest superstar...
...Sachin Tendulkar,
he won't be opening the batting.
- If he wants to be difficult, ermm...
...then that's just what I have to do.
- Ermm, I have to convince him...
or tell him that...
...for the next few games at least
