Tendulkar is the best ever: Kiwis


CHRISTCHURCH: Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar is the choice for most of the New Zealand cricketers, who rate the batting maestro as the complete batsman of his generation.

In a survey conducted by New Zealand’s ‘Herald on Sunday’ newspaper, former Kiwi Test players John Morrison and Dipak Patel picked the Indian batting ace and were all admiration for his exploits all around the world in different conditions and various match situations.

“I’d go with Tendulkar. He is still the most capable batsman in the world. He has the full array of shots too, though he might not play them as freely as he once did,” Morrison said.

“I like Tendulkar because there are guys out there brilliant on certain types of surfaces but he is adept at playing on anything. Slow, bouncy, turning, whatever — he covers the field on all of them.

Dipak Patel echoed the same sentiment. “I like Gautam Gambhir and Graeme Smith at the moment but in the end, if they were batting for my life, I couldn’t go past Tendulkar. He’s got the experience, the sheer weight of runs and best all-round game.

Fire Incident at Kumbh Mela: A Year of Fire – Stay Alert

  By Aryan Rana, Founder,  VRightpath Recently, a fire broke out in Sector 19 of the Kumbh Mela, near the Geeta Press stall. The incident was claimed via email by the KGF terrorist group. Fortunately, timely safety measures ensured that no casualties occurred. However, the event has sparked debates on social media, with some questioning why God, Sanatan Dharma, or saints didn’t intervene to prevent the fire, while science (fire brigade department and safety equipment) ultimately saved lives.  Read in Hindi This perspective reflects a misunderstanding of God’s blessings and His role in the world. God doesn’t directly intervene in every situation but blesses us with intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge to handle challenges effectively.

Just as fire burns anything that is not fire-re...
