Just came across this article from Mohandas
Menon,
Sachin-Kambli record eclipsed 
When about 19 years back two
Acherakar boys from
Mumbai's Shardashram had a 664 run partnership
noone would have thought that one of them would be then would go on to become
Sachin Tendulkar. The thing is that one of them was
Sachin Tendulkar was such an historic event that it overshadows most of the events of that decade and maybe even that century.
Noone can deny the god like status
Sachin has achieved today but even God shows their best as kids. About
Kambli people remember more for his stupid hairstyles (or no-hairstyles) and his crying after the
SriLanka semi-final loss at Eden Garden's 1996 rather than his double double centuries against England. He was a good enough batsman always there but never so much there.
Now its the turn of two kids from Hyderabad, India's new sporting hot-pot(
Sania and
Saina emerging from there) to give us Mohammad
Shahbaz Tumbi and B
Manoj Kumar. These two non-teenagers have broken one of the longest standing records in Under-18 cricket(
Infact highest partnership in CLASS of
Cricket) in India scoring 721 runs in a partnership for their school and hope they continue the good efforts till they grow up and play for India one day.
Hoping that both of them goes the
Sachin way, not his friends way.
