SACHIN?TENDULKAR gave new meaning to being the talk of the town this week.
The supremo Indian batsman distanced himself somewhat from debate about the greatest batsman of all time – in a match against South Africa last week, he became the first man to make 50 Test hundreds.
And newpapers across India are lapping up Tendulkar’s fame.
In this AP picture, front pages of a number of Indian newspapers show Tendulkar’s coverage at a wayside stall in Mumbai, India, earlier this week.
Tendulkar’s 50th Test century on Day 4 of the first Test against South Africa last Sunday was greeted with front-page newspaper headlines on Monday heralding the landmark master batsman.
