Sachin Tendulkar at Kolkata Marathon Event Today
God in City Of Joy
"So many memories when it comes to Kolkata," said an emotional Tendulkar at a press conference to announce the IDBI Federal Life Insurance Marathon.
"The first big moment was when we played South Africa here. South Africa was getting back to international cricket and the kind of reception they got was incredible. It was not just inside the stadium but from when they landed. From the airport all the way to the hotel, there were people standing on both sides of the road and cheering them. Even today some of their players like Jonty Rhodes still remember the reception they got in Kolkata," he said.
Also what a spectacular match we had. It was a low scoring game where Alan Donald came and bowled a fiery spell. But there weresome good partnerships and we ended up winning the game. All along the experience was overwhelming for the South Africans andso was the case with me,"
Praising the spectators at the Eden Gardens for their spirit and support, Tendulkar said,"We also used to jokingly say in Kolkata, we just need to take two wickets the crowd will take the rest eight."
Sachin Tendulkar recalls how a mongoose proved to be lucky for team India in 1993 "I don't know how many of you have noticed this but because it was the first day and night match, there was a mongoose which kept coming in the second half of the game," Tendulkar ."We got some wickets when it came. Then there were some runs and again the mongoose came and we got wickets. So I was waiting for the mongoose to keep coming. The match got rather close and I ended up bowling the last over."(Hero cup)

Wish You A Fantastic Birthday Kapil Dev | Sachin Army
He was born to Ram Lal Nikhanj and Raj Kumari. His father was a building and timber contractor. Basically from Rawalpindi, his parents had migrated to India during the partition in 1947.
He went to the DAV School and later attended St. Edward’s School in Shimla. He started playing cricket as a school boy and was selected to play for Haryana in domestic cricket.
Considered to be one of the greatest cricketing all-rounders of all time, Kapil Dev is a former Indian cricketer best known for leading his team to a World Cup victory in 1983. Confident, charismatic and highly skilled, he was the Indian team’s main strike bowler for the major part of his career.
He debuted for Haryana in November 1975 in a match against Punjab. He scalped six wickets and restricted the opposition to just 63 runs and thus helped Haryana to win.
He played against Jammu & Kashmir in the 1976-77 season and took 8 wickets and made 36 runs in one match. The same year he achieved figures of 7/20 against Bengal.
In 1978-79 season he took his maiden 10-wicket haul in first-class cricket in a match against Services. His outstanding performance ensured that he got selected for the Irani Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Wills Trophy matches.
He proved his all-round ability by showing his mettle not just with the ball but also with the bat. During the 1979-80 season he scored his maiden century, when he scored 193 runs against Delhi.
He made his test debut against Pakistan in October 1978 though it was only after a few more matches that his impact began to be felt.
In 1979, playing against a visiting West Indies team, Dev made his maiden century scoring 126 runs in just 124 balls. His bowling performance was also consistent as he took 17 wickets in the series.
The cricketer was getting better with every match he played. He picked his first 5-wicket haul against England in Edgbaston in 1979.
During Australian cricket team's tour of India in 1979–80, Kapil Dev established himself as India's premier fast bowler by taking taking two five-wicket hauls and a total of 28 wickets in the whole series.
His popularity soared when he led India to 2 victories in the 6-test home series against Pakistan. Kapil Dev performed spectacularly with both bat and ball. He took a ten wicket haul and scored two half centuries in the series finishing the series with 32 wickets and 278 runs.
He was made captain during the 1982-83 season and led his team in the 1983 World Cup. India were underdogs in the tournament but under Kapil Dev's charismatic leadership the team punched much above its weight and went to win the world cup by defeating the mighty West Indies in the finals.
After his stellar performance, he was retained as captain for the 1987 World Cup 1987. India played well initially and reached the semi-finals where they lost to England. Kapil Dev left captaincy after this.
He played his last World Cup in 1992 under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin. As a senior bowler he mentored new talents like Javagal Srinath and Manoj Prabhakar.
He retired in 1994 as the highest wicket taker for that time, with a haul of 434 wickets.
He became the coach of the Indian team in 1999 but his stint as a coach was not successful. He resigned in 2000 following some controversy.
Wish You A Happy Birthday, God of Music - AR Rahman | Sachin Army
India’s most decorated musician A.R Rahman turns 50 on Friday, half of which he spent as a film music composer.
#HBDARR50 trended on Twitter and celebrities sent in their wishes.
The ‘Mozart of Madras’ himself however had a surprise for his fans, announcing that he will be participating in a Facebook live chat on his birthday.
Rahman announced this, with his tweet, which read, “Join me on Facebook Live on the 6th of January 2017, between 4.30 pm - 5 pm IST”.

He has won two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe, four National Film Awards, fifteen Filmfare Awards and thirteen Filmfare Awards South in addition to numerous other awards and nominations.

The UK based World Music magazine Songlines named him one of 'Tomorrow's World Music Icons' in August 2011.
