50 is just a number for me: Tendulkar

                                    




Centurion: He doesn’t hide the fact that he is happy but for Sachin Tendulkar, “50 is just another number.”

“Yesterday was my father’s (late Ramesh Tendulkar) birthday. I dedicate this century to him. As for myself, I am happy and ok to have scored runs. I really don’t know how to express my feelings,” Tendulkar told reporters at the end of the day’s play which saw him reach 50th Test century.

A teamman to the core, Sachin feels that the Indian team should be able to save the Test match.

“I believe in positive thinking. If you remain positive, you will find positive things happening,” he said.


Asked about the secret behind his stupendous form, he said, “It’s a state of mind. For the last two years, I have been doing well. I have been really enjoying my batting. I believe doing well is a habit and a good habit. So if you have this good habit, you shouldn’t let it go.”

Tendulkar was also happy that the team has batted well in the second innings.

“It was extremely important for us to do well and send a strong message. The wicket was difficult to bat on in the first innings. We needed to remain positive and confident.”
