Passengers lined up outside Gate 16 of the Melbourne International Airport as the boarding announcement confirmed the departure of their flight. Suddenly there was commotion, some people left the line and ran towards Gate 18. A short man, dressed casually, dragging his bag was making his way to his flight with a young, muscular and moustached man. “Who has come?” asked someone who couldn’t get a glimpse of them. “Don’t you know! That is Sachin Tendulkar,” said an Indian man as he ran towards Gate 18 to greet his hero.
The young man with Tendulkar was none other than the Indian opener, Shikhar Dhawan, who was the star during the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Though Dhawan is a current player and had done well in the big event, hardly any fan bothered him. He slipped somewhere in the background as Tendulkar became the cynosure of all eyes at the gate. People had left their seats from the areas near the gates, some had left the boarding queue and made their way towards Tendulkar.
