The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future.

  • Hero, Celebrity and Icon: Sachin Tendulkar and Indian Public Culture*
    13 PRASHANT KIDAMBI Hero, celebrity and icon: Sachin Tendulkar and Indian public culture* When he completed twenty years in international cricket in November 2009, Sachin Tendulkar reaffi rmed his status as one of the greatest public icons of post-independence India. Ever since his genius was fi rst glimpsed on the maidans of Bombay over two decades ago, Tendulkar has reigned supreme as a sporting idol, his popularity cutting across the boundaries of caste, class, gender, region and religion. Curiously, however, there has been relatively little scholarly scrutiny of the Tendulkar phenomenon and what it might tell us about the changing nature of Indian public culture. This chapter attempts to understand, and account for, Sachin Tendulkar’s enduring hold over the Indian public imagination by exploring three facets of his remarkable career. The fi rst section considers, in historical context, Tendulkar as ‘hero’: someone who displays superlative skills and performs spectacular feats. An analysis of popular sporting fi gures needs to reckon with the ways in which their attributes and accomplishments on the fi eld of play are crucial to their elevation as heroes. However, the analytical prism of the ‘hero’ is insuffi cient in itself in accounting for Tendulkar’s fame. The second section suggests that Tendulkar’s celebrity is an attendant effect of the intensifi ed relationship between cricket, television and money in con- temporary India. At the same time, the immense power and resonance of Tendulkar’s image within Indian society makes him more than a frothy con- fection of the sport–media nexus. The fi nal section argues that as a national icon Tendulkar embodies the aspirations of millions of Indians.
