In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe “The Black Mamba” Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary “Mamba mentality.” Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted game students how to play it “the right way,”
When I read the book on Kobe Bryant, the famous Basketball wizard, I understood the autobiography of a role model can be a good teacher to many aspiring readers to inspire and motivate them to pursue their dreams and motivate them to take their skills to different levels.
I thought to study the life and career of the Indian master cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and scripted his story from my perspective. In the first volume titled, “THANK YOU, SACHIN,” I covered the first part of his life and cricketing career, and in the second part, “GAME SALUTES YOU,” I wrote about the Sachin Tendulkar Story as he excelled in his area of expertise in this millennium.
In the third and concluding part of my memoir on Sachin Tendulkar, “MASTER BLASTER EFFECT - THE ICON HANGS HIS BOOTS”, I have tried to analyze his epic cricketing career and personally felt that a void had been left in the minds of cricket lovers all over the globe. The cricket he played at the highest level for twenty-four years affected me as a die-herd Sachin fan and I wrote this part, maybe, with some bias.
