Thread: What can we traders learn from Sachin

1) @sachin_rt is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen of all time & has played several amazing knocks. But one that stands out is his 241* at Sydney. He did not play a single cover drive in the entire innings

#SachinTendulkar

2) Look at his stance on the crease. Look at the balance. Perfect. Simply elegant. Looks so pleasing to the eye.

Even @bhogleharsha once said, “When Sachin hits a cover drive, the world seems all the more beautiful.”

3) But in the series against Australia. Sachin had been getting out by trying to drive the ball outside off.

He had scored just 88 runs in the previous three matches and had registered 2 ducks as well. So he decided that he needs to change something to score more runs

4) He himself imposed barricade on strokeplay. He decided not to play balls pitching on the off side.

A world that knew him for scintillating drives through the covers, off the front foot and back, was shocked to see him scoring all most all his runs on the leg side.

5) Sachin did not even play one drive through the off side in more than 10 hours of batting😳

The balls that pitched up outside the off-stump were allowed to go through.

6) “Greatness is not just what you are capable of doing, it’s also what you can stop yourself doing when needed”

Just look at the discipline of Sachin to not play a single delivery outside off stump even though that has been his favourite shot.

Truly brilliant !

7) Sachin is G.O.A.T due to this discipline.

He united over a billion people in a way that no one and nothing ever has, and probably never will. It is no secret that cricket is a religion in India & Sachin Tendulkar its most worshipped God.

8) If we as traders can even get 10% of Sachin’s self-discipline then it would take our trading to the next level

“It doesn’t matter how much you want success, it all boils down to how much you are willing to do what it takes”

End
