Tendulkar comes of age

Regular readers know that the man Tendulkar leaves me un-enamored. For all the brilliance, he displays on the field; off it, he is lack luster. That is why I have largely ignored him.

However, in the last two weeks there has seen a sea change in his character. Last week he mocked the juniors and just I was giving up on him, he struck yesterday. He has given a tongue-lashing to Gilchrist and caricatured his statements as loose statements.

Can we mark this as his coming of age?

He is known for his off the field gentlemanliness and not getting into controversies.. All that seems to be vanishing of late.Cultivated sheen peeling off perhaps. It surprises me too.
