IAF drops Tendulkar

Tendulkar loses his wicket in the “IAF brand game ..“Did IAF…drop a precious catch…?

The man ( or God ! of  Indian cricket ) lost his wicket on a sticky wicket and has been clean bowled by Indian Air Force because IAF discovered ( to their horror, to their dismay ,or whatever it may be) that Sachin has lost his force or steam to inspire the youth of this country to join IAF. 

Nothing wrong because business is business and there is no place for sentiments in business. Perhaps the channels have received a  very powerful news ( though not palatable ) for their Breaking news category.

 The IAF has replaced Sachin with a basic trainer aircraft Pilatus He was conferred the title of GROUP CAPTAIN in IAF with the hope of inspiring youngsters to join IAF. But now IAF suddenly discovered that the Little master is no more the role model of young Indians to get sufficiently inspired. It is great personal setback for a great cricketer . The irony is that he could not be a successful captain in Indian Cricket and he could not ,unfortunately succeed in an entirely different field , as group Captain( in IAF), also .

None knows whether the IAF conducted some market research to find out whether Sachin could inspire young Indians to join IAF if he is made as a brand ambassador of IAF. But IAF should have organized some nationwide programmes with him before dropping him out of the “game” The news of this setback to Sachin comes to us when we are still celebrating the fantastic show of Captain Cool  Dhoni who is all over the media in all our hearts as the best Cricket captain Indian Cricket has ever seen. But please remember that a section of media and public tried to blame him for failure,sometime back.

Fame is very flimsy and very short . He was the first sportsperson to be conferred a rank by IAF and the first personality with no aviation background to receive the honour. But  ,just as he is the “first” in many fields ,he is also the “first” non AVIATION PERSONALITY whose rank of Group captain was withdrawn.. A new brand , Pilatus ( warplanes) , has been “appointed “ as the new brand ambassador of IAF. We can only wish all the best for the new brand ambassador

 Nobody is indispensable and so is Sachin .But  the trait of greatness remains with him 

and none can take it away. A king is always a king even if somebody snatches away the 

crown from his head. History is full of such incidents and the beauty of history is that 

"history always repeats!!"Those who conferred have the right to take it away also .

It should be Business as usual .. life should go on.., 

Sachin will always remain a great Indian 

cricketer and its Brand ambassador
