Tendulkar sends outu00a0a messege to his fans who expect more -- "From my side, there won't be a lack of commitment"

That Sachin Tendulkar is no sucker for big celebrations could be manifested in the fact that he was in his Gwalior hotel room not long after helping India to one of their most memorable wins in one-day international cricket.

On a day that saw him become the first batsman to score a double hundred in one-day international cricket (a brand of the game which began a good two years before his birth) he was as normal as ever. Quite clearly, Tendulkar's ability to keep his feet firmly on the ground is as admirable as his cricketing skills.
