One has heard of Coffin Gate, Water Gate, Coal Gate and Bill Gates; but what takes the cake is the reference to Tendulkar's defence being repeatedly breached by a bunch of novices from New Zealand as "SACHIN GATE"..
Former captains, team mates, legions of Mr. Tendulkars' well wishers, fans and sycophants are all worried that the size of this "GATE" is constantly increasing and you can presently not only drive a cricket ball but a Patton Tank through the gate created between his bat and pad.
Manufacturers and creators of products/services endorsed by his supposedly divine highness are wondering whether the increasing clamour for his immediate retirement will force him to reconsider his options and thereby close the "GATE" to the bank and untold riches that was wide open to them till yesterday.
One time bosom buddy and now estranged stranger Vinod Ganpat Kambli is earnestly wondering whether the latest career crisis to affect Sachin Tendulkar will open his hearts "GATE" and thereby facilitate his return to the echelons of Tendulkar's bum chums.
Trenchant critics and acerbic commentators on the game are wondering whether his impending retirement will open the "GATE" for yet another Virat Kohli or Cheteshwar Pujara who will continue to serve the country with distinction in the years to come.
So much for matters related to "GATES" and so on and so forth; the fact of the matter is that both Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir will have to justify their selection and automatic places in the team or else they may soon find the team India "GATES" closing permanently in their faces.
