Indian Cricketing legend and Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar won the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin on Monday. He won the Laureus Sporting Moment of the last 2 decades for his World Cup-winning moment. The title for that moment was given as, 'Carried on the Shoulders of Nation'. Tendulkar was carried on the shoulders by his team-mates after winning the cricket world cup.
Pondering those moments Tendulkar addressed the ceremony and said, "To be holding this trophy, I would like to thank the Laureus Academy members for giving this memory to me. I think it is really special. Also, the people who voted and felt that the moment we saw on screen was worth voting for."
"It's incredible. The feeling of winning the world cup was beyond what words can express. How many times you get an event happening where there are no mixed opinions, there are no mixed views. Very rarely the entire country celebrates," he added.
He also said, "Very rarely there are no opinions, everyone sits together and celebrates and this is a reminder again of how powerful sport and what magic it does to all our lives. We experience the power of sport. Even now when I watch that it has stayed with me."
