Everyone knows it. A Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar century more or less results in India losing the match. Lately the Jinx seems to be getting stronger and stronger. In the recent World Cup, Sachin had scored two centuries, one against South Africa and one against England, the one against SA was for a losing cause and the one against Eng was almost a losing cause. How we managed to tie it from a lose-win-lose situation is a miracle. Like me, many people were hoping that Sachin would not score another ton in the World Cup so that India could lift the World Cup. And he obliged. In 2009, against Australia, Sachin scores a marvelous 175, even a high score such as this wasn't enough for the Jinx to turnaround.One would have expected these kind of Jinxes would have been negated in the shorter format of the game, The T20's.Cometh the IPL Season 4, a match against a less fancied Kochi Tuskers, Sachin carves out his first T20 hundred, you think you cannot be on a losing cause in a 20 over format, that too against a weak team at least on paper and with a superb Mumbai Indians bowling attack. Voila, the Jinx happen, the strongest team in the IPL are in the losing side against the weakest team in the IPL despite when their captain makes his debut IPL ton on his and their team's home ground.
The Jinx is getting lethal and lethal, just one way to stop it, score 99 and get retired hurt if you must or you could score a 200................................
