I particularly liked the way Harsha Bhogle compared how a nation clings to heroic figures during dark times. Don Bradman served as a hope to the cricketing fraternity of the time after the second World War and similarly Sachin was the fulcrum for the Indian people to look up to and induce a fighting spirit, especially after the Indian economic debacle of 1991-92.

Quoting it again, "When Sachin made a 100, India slept well."
