that's what makes him special. one has to wonder how someone who has achieved so much in every aspect of life can remain so grounded?? can't think of any other individual, at least in india!
He is normal he is just supported by his cricket board
In pakistan , when a cricketer appraoches a mile stone that will eclipse some old Pakistani player's mile stones , he is suddenly kept out of the team by selectors so that player cannot out shine them.
Example:
Inzimam or Yousif Mohammad , they were kept out of team when they wanted to reach 10,000 runs, infact most obvious is the example of how Mohammad Yousif was banned after he had a steller season with bat scored like runs a bucket ...they were both capable of reaching 10,000 runs mile stones but for some reason ... cricketing gods in Pakistan did not wanted them to contine.... both missed alot of test series in last 5 years of their lives
other example is during wasim akram's time , waqar younis was mysteriously kept out due to professional jealousy
PCB never supports players well being , it looks to "tax cricketers income" example when Shoaib went to play in India all the greedy , PCB officials banned him for nonesense accusations so they can get "BHATTA" tax , from Shoaib under the table to give him forgiveness ... none sense tax money like he was friendly to fans at the stadium or things of that nature or signing autographs or going out with his friends in night
The problem is not the crickters the problem lies in PCB itself ..
The 10% core is all currupt and its like a dead kill on road, but they stay in power behind the scenes, the only people who get the axe are the players who are simple minded who opt to become coaches or trainers....
These road kill officials love to be in administrative jobs hiding away from public scrutiny
These are all shady characters - Even not all selectors are currupt 1-2 are legit the other 8 are all bought out , who ellect special players
There is just too much professional jealousy in Pakaistani PCB
Also Pakistani team does not plays enough Test cricket series , they MUST play regular 6 test series games vs quality opposition , and ample amount of ODI .
20/20 should be played for 1 month only in 12 month season
Even Ramiz Raja got sick of the CEO post in PCB he said he loves to commentate in games, and can't handle corporate politics of PCB , 95% of PCB is crook !! organization
Sachin is very good player. But definitely over rated.
He can't play in pressure situation. Good that we got so many match winners. Inzamam and Lara may not have record like him but they are match winner.
BCCI is more professional , PCB is disjointed group of politcial figures its not a real organization proven by fact that it has not supported the 3 pakistani cricketers with ICC even when there was no sufficient evidence
PCB mantra is , as long as you will give us a cut , we will vote for you to be ICC president, we will also play series with you and we will even give up World Cup provided you give us money
U r kidding man.
99 international centuries and you think he is over rated.
Except records, couple of bilateral series win. I don't remember any good knock from him.

It may be his family background. His father was a very good poet in Marathi. His very middle class background where education and culture is valued very high may have moulded his personality. Humility is considered a virtue still in parts of India.
