What is Sachin's value to Indian Cricket Team?

Tweet

Do you think Sachin Tendulkar is indispensable in Indian Criket Team? I think no one is indispensable. Rather their absence gives chances to talented young prospects. When a debate came up about his retirement, the older players and cricket administrators said that it is up to Sachin to decide. It means Sachin's place is guaranteed as long as he decides to play. is it fair? Will he be ever dropped even if he does not perform. The indication is that he will never be dropped. The comment made by Sreesanth the other day is worhtwhile here. "Cricket is a legend and Sachin is the God. But in the field I am Sreesanth and he is Sachin, I dont care about his reputation." How many dare to say this? What do you say? Is sachin above everything?
