"This is just unacceptable. How can a person like Sehwag do that to his hero. I liked Sehwag but no more. He should immediately seek apology from Sachin and all his fans", said Prateek Kumar, a student of Patna university, the anger and disbelief clearly evident. "This could seriously hamper Sachin's chance of getting Bharat Ratna. At this time, we needed to stand united behind Sachin. At least Sehwag could have waited till Bharat Ratna was awarded to Sachin", said Anil Patil, a cloth merchant from Mumbai.
The demand for apology is growing louder across India. In Bangalore, members of Sachin Is God , a group which boasts of having most staunch Sachin's supporters, has decided to organise a candle march from Cubbon Park to Freedom Park. "Our protest will continue till Sehwag seeks an unconditional apology from God", said Aniruddha, a software engineer and co-founder of Sachin is God .
Despite all his heroics, Sehwag could not win hearts of many from the city in which he scored his double century. "I came all the way from Bhopal to watch Sachin's hundredth century as there were rumors that he will play. Instead I witnessed his own record being shattered. This is clear case of cheating. I want my money back. BCCI should pressurise ICC to cancel this match", said an enraged Dr. Sahil Joshi, a medical practitioner from Bhopal.
The anguish among Sachin's fans was also evident on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. " Sachin's record is broken in his absence. Disgrace", tweeted anuraag. The hashtag #sorrysachin was most popular hashtag on Twitter yesterday.
