OMGSACHIN: Sachin Tendulkar Was Never Booed in Mumbai

On Mar 20, 2006 There Was a News which spread like a wild fire all across the world that Sachin Tendulkar was booed in mumbai during the Test match between India & England.

Here is the true story what happend there : (As Informed By Atish Hemade Who Was at The Stadium)

Wankhede never booed Sachin and will never ever.Firstly it is ridiculous to even say such a thing.People at Mumbai respect and worship him more than any other place.It was a high tempo situation..The barmy army(cheering England) vs North stand(Cheering India) ,each cheering their team.The north stand was teasing flintoff. and the moment our god got out, the barmy army and flintoff showed fingers at the north stand.And hence the crowd became angry and started Booing them.

It Was totally unfortunate that Sachin Tendulkar was walking back to the pavillion at the same time, the media suddenly quoted everywhere that crowd started booing sachin, but it was not true This is coming from a regular match watcher at the north stand.. I WAS IN THAT VERY SAME MATCH IN THE NORTH STAND WITH 20 OTHER FRIENDS CHEERING AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE FOR SACHIN AND INDIA.

I understand that you will go with the facts what various news links have published but It became such a big news that it was everywhere.how could people have gathered at that time and convey what actually happened,The news spread like fire.You see,if facebook,orkut etc etc were present at that time things would have been different.

This is What Sachin Tendulkar Has to Say :

On being booed by his home crowd at the Wankhede Stadium during the third Test against England, he said, “I thought the issue was blown out of proportion by the media. It wasn’t that bad. I have more well wishers than the small section of the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium that day. I have to ignore them. I cannot forget the backing I have got from the people all these years just because of this”.
