I can focus on matches now : Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin, after his 100th ton, holding Indian flag high up!

Finally, another milestone is behind Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, so called God of cricket, can focus on matches now! This is what he said after getting his 100th ton. Though I understand the pressure he might have been through, but had he not cared about milestones, that pressure would not have built!
Is that putting oneself before the nation? "I don't play for milestones. I play cricket. I want to enjoy cricket." said Sachin in an interview after he got his 100th ton. Sachin, you seriously mean it? I remember the controversy created by you, when you were at the crease with 194 not out, in 2004 Multan test against Pakistan after Rahul Dravid, then captain of India, declared the innings putting nation ahead of yourself. John Wright,  India's then coach, in his book India Summers has acknowledged the tense moments Indian camp had been through then. Sachin, you still say that you put nation ahead of milestones?
When is he going to vacate his place for the younger generation? Sachin says "I'll let you know when I decide to retire, please don't worry"! I am worried about about India, India's position in world cricket, India's readiness for next world cup to be played in 2015! For Sachin it is the last thing, because he is enjoying cricket, as if others do not! Will Sachin be fit at 42 to play for India in World Cup 2015, and will he be better than others who would have worn his shoes had he retired after WC 2011? I guess, he should have learnt something from Imran Khan.
He couldn't help India when India struggled in England and Australia. Come Bangladesh's flat pitches, he achieved the unachievable! Though India lost the match, Sachin's individual feat was far more greater than the nation, was it not Sachin? Thank you for all your services to mother India! Like you said, Sachin, it was the opposition who played well, sometimes we need to give opposition credit of their win! After your 100th ton, you can focus on matches now! Well said, Sachin!
