GCA felicitates Sachin
Ahmedabad, Nov 16, DHNS:
Sachin Tendulkar was felicitated on Monday morning by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on completing 20 years in international cricket.
Modi, who recently took over as the president of the Gujarat Cricket Association, presented the little master with mementoes on behalf of the State government as well as the GCA before the start of play on the opening day of India's first Test against Sri Lanka here.
The chief minister handed over a gold-plated miniature replica of the Somnath Temple on behalf of the government, and a silver plate and shawl as a mark of GCA’s appreciation for Tendulkar’s monumental accomplishment.
The 36-year-old, who made his international debut on November 15, 1989 against Pakistan in Karachi, had cut a cake during a team dinner on Sunday night to celebrate his longevity with his mates at a very private gathering in the team hotel.
Apart from his Indian colleagues, Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, the highest wicket-taker in the international game, too was present at the dinner as a special invitee. Muralitharan is playing in his final overseas series in Test cricket.

Sachin & Modi are outstanding expamples of what India & Indians can achieve despite an environment full of cynicism, favoritism , & all other negative-isms. The youth of our country should be inspired by this Modi-Sachin duo & take heart to propel India to great heights & glory
The nattering nabobs of negativity like sadiq naqvi will always be there in any society to detract the achievers , but ignore them & move on
Jai Hind
As a Indian i am very much proud of Mr.Sachin, who is showing other indian cricketers how to play cricket. And also he is the person who is playing for the country, not for individual result. That is why i am liking Mr.Sachin. I pray almight to give him long life with good health.
