World Cup: In the league of extraordinary characters - DNA: "Gentleman’s game it may be but it’s also made of all kinds of individuals. DNA list a few players, who stand out in the crowd because of their individuality.
The Gentleman
Sachin Tendulkar is not just known for making world records but also for keeping the ‘spirit’ of the game. During India’s World Cup group match against the West Indies in Chennai, the Little Master edged a ball off Ravi Rampaul in the very first over.
After that, what Tendulkar did is debatable, but at that very moment he did what he considered was right. He walked back to the pavilion as soon as he nicked the ball and noticed the ’keeper had bagged it, despite being given not out by the on-field umpire. Sachin’s walk is one of the rare gentlemanly gestures in the game nowadays."
