Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar a man who has become the other name of cricket in India and world. Every bowl he face now adds to a new record he has come a long way that other cannot even think of it.
He was born on April 24, 1973 in Mumbai. He is Right -Hand Batsman. He also bowls Right Arm Medium, Leg Break, Right Arm Off Break. A genius without a doubt, this little master made his International debut in ODI’s and Tests at the age of 16 against Pakistan against the fiery pace of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He then went to England as a part of the national side, and has not looked back ever since. The name itself strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers all around the world. Hailed as the next master-blaster following the legacy of the great West Indian Vivian Richards, this man has every shot in the book, and can kill any attack in the world when in full swing. There is nothing this man cannot do.
He started his One day carrier against Pakistan at Gujranwala, 2nd ODI, 1989/90. He had played 143 test 11366 runs in 231 inning with the highest of 248* He reached the 200 mark for Four times he has 38 test centuries to his name and 49 half centuries with the average about 55 and strike rate of 54. He has also taken 42 wickets in test matches with best figure of 3 for 14.
He started his Test Carrier against Pakistan at Karachi, 1st Test, 1989/90. He had played 407 ODI and made 15962 from 397 innings With the highest total of 186*. He had scored 41 centuries and 87 half centuries with average of nearly 45 and strike rate of 85. He has also taken 154 wicket in with the best figure of 5 for 32 and it is against Australia.
He is the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in one-day cricket, making the record in the third game of a five-match series against Australia on the 31st of March 2001. Here I would like to remind one thing that He may not be the person to take this record in his name As Former Captain of Indian Mohammad Azharuddin was about to complete his 10000 runs but destiny comes in his way and He found him self out of cricketing world due to match fixing scam. Sachin reached the landmark when he scored 34 runs in his 266th match and 259th innings. Tendulkar, 27, in his amazing 12-year career, has scored a world record 28 hundreds and 50 half-centuries in his 10,000 runs.
he has reached a stage that others can only dream of. He has destroyed practically every bowling attack in the world. Tendulkar's 'specialties' include the straight drive (seemingly nobody plays the shot better than him), the cover drive, the square cut, the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the delicate leg glance, the late cut, the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to mention the improvisations he keeps coming up with, time and again. He has tremendous power in his forearms and can hit the ball out of almost every ground in the World. He plays each of his shots amazingly and has even employed the reverse sweep to good effect. Some of his shots are hit with so much power that the ball simply rockets to the fence as if he was trying to dismiss the ball from his presence. On the other hand, some of his shots are neatly timed and placed well. His timing can be quite exquisite and it is this blend of timing and raw power which makes him the world's best/greatest batsman. Mentally very strong, Tendulkar is best when confronted by a challenge.
Now he is the only batsman to score 15000 in ODI. Now he had made a place for himself from where he can only go further. He had become so big that now he himself has presser to come or even keep maintaining his image as every time he is one the ground people expect a lot from him I hope we are going to see same Sachin for some more time.
