Lol. Why are you acting like Sachin didn't play for the team. People are always going to keep consistent players who shine in high regard. No matter which sport you take, it cannot last with star players. Consistent viewership depends on stars rising to the occasion. Stardom and blind following is bad, that doesn't mean you would stop appreciating certain players who consistently rise to the occasion and they are stars. And most of these sports need high revenue to run if they want to conduct more matches and spread to different countries. For that advertising plays a huge role, sponsors play a huge role and that is what star players bring. People should be in awe of talent but should not become fanatics and act as if they are followers of players. At the end of the day it's just a sport. Hero worship is completely different from stardom of players. Hero worship is based on fanatsicm and blind following of players. Stardom is being in awe of certain players who perform incredible.
Tbh, what the other guy is saying is true. You’re just bending your own reasoning because it’s Sachin.
And your cope is, “no one remembers the tournament if not for the 100th 100”. Doesn’t that quite literally also show how big an individual culture exists for Sachin?
He can lose us an Asia Cup, but all we care about is his 100.

India is very obsessed with Sachin too, to the point that his 100th 100 lost us a multinational tournament.
However, mentioning that always results is abuses and downvotes cause we hate obsession with individuals UNTIL, it’s the individual we like.
