The ten avatars of Lord Sachin Tendulkar

It would seem as if there as many Gods as we have people in India. A 50-plus religious person would not be surprised if he learnt about a new God for the first time in his life! That the country is secular by constitutional guarantee means people freely worship Gods according to their religious beliefs. However, one religion unites the entire nation: cricket. And there is just one God that binds people following this religion: Sachin Tendulkar.
Post the 1987 World Cup that took place in the Sub-continent, India was reeling under the effects of losing the battle to the English on home soil. The retirement of Sunil Gavaskar only heightened the calamitous feeling. It was clearly unhappy times for Indian cricket; the nation was looking to a celestial blessing.
It was at this time a voice was heard from the sky, “The Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure entertainment goodness, he will rescue Indian cricket. Lord Sachin— the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of all things related to cricket and the Supreme Soul of all— takes birth to protect the principles of this great game and to relieve the game’s saintly devotees from the reactions of material work. (Cricket Purana, 24.4.73-74)
The following two decades, the Lord took several reincarnations to rescue and revive the fortunes of the Nation.
The 10 best-known avatars of Sachin are collectively known as the Sachavatara. These avatars are chronicled in the years After the Birth of Sachin (ABS). see below
The first one is said to have appeared in the Eighties Yuga. The next five in Nineties Yuga and following three in the Noughties Yuga. The tenth one is predicted to appear at the start of the Twenty-tens Yuga.
