"And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win"
About this Quote
The intent is leadership without theatrics. Tendulkar frames greatness as distribution: different players contributing means the team isn t surviving on a single hot hand, it s functioning. That is a subtle vote of confidence in the bench, the bowlers, the fielders, the unglamorous overs and quiet partnerships that don t trend but decide matches. It also acts as insulation against the pressure cooker of cricket culture, where a few heroes are worshipped and scapegoats are minted overnight. If the win belongs to many, the loss can be held by many too.
The subtext lands especially hard in an Indian context, where Tendulkar s own brand of celebrity could have justified ego. Instead, he uses his authority to move the spotlight outward, turning praise into a team building tool. It s not poetic, but it s strategic: collective contribution is the closest thing sports has to sustainability, and he s naming it as the real flex.
