Sachin Vs Sania

Once Harsha Bhigle in his interview for the BBC said that Sachin created an industry in which billions of rupees are involved, he was the reason that cricket has survived. At the age of 16 he started making history not only in the cricketing world but also in the media world, newspapers, televisions, radio were booming during his peak time. Of late without his presence the men in blue are suffering and so is the media what with the trp ratings falling down. But wait no the trp ratings infact have gone up that is because the of the Sania mania that has gripped the nation. She at the age of 18 like Sachin is rewriting records in the tennis world and the media world. Can we say that she is going to create an tennis industry just like Sachin who has been sporting icon of the century. Will the mighty Mirza become the sporting icon of the next century. Already she has won the Arjuna award and there are more to come. However Sachin is not yet gone, he is in hibernation period and when he comes back I hope he would do so with a bang. Everywhere a talk has started saying who is a bigger icon Sachin or Sania? I think the situation is the same in England where a craze has developed for Flintoff what with England on the brink of winning the Ashes after a gap of 19 yrs and David Beckham is nowhere to be found in newspapers. There too a same question may arise Becky vs Freddie. Let us wait and see who emerges out of the hurdles and who would become a folklore.
