Sachin Ramesh
Tendulkarpronunciation (born 24 April, 1973 in Mumbai,
Maharashtra, India) is a record-breaking Indian cricketer who
is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the
history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden rated him as the second
greatest Test batsman after Sir Donald Bradman, and the second
greatest One-day international batsman behind Sir Vivian
Richards. In 2003, this list was revised where Tendulkar was
ranked No. 1 and Richards at No. 2.
He holds several highly regarded batting records and is the
leading scorer of centuries in both Test cricket and one-day
internationals. He is one of the three batsmen to surpass
11,000 runs in Test cricket, and the first Indian to do so. He
is the most prolific run scorer in ODIs by a margin of over
4000 runs and has scored the most runs in international
cricket as a whole. He crossed 16,000 runs in ODIs on February
5, 2008 while playing against Sri Lanka in Brisbane,
Australia. Affectionately called 'The Little Master' or 'The
Master Blaster', Tendulkar made his first-class debut for the
Mumbai cricket team aged 14 and scored a century on debut. He
made his international test debut in 1989 against Pakistan in
Karachi at age 16.
He is the only cricketer to receive the Rajiv Gandhi Khel
Ratna, India's highest sporting honour and the only cricketer
and one of the first sportsmen (along with Vishwanathan Anand
) to receive Padma Vibhushan (2008), the second highest
civilian honor of India. He is the most sponsored player in
world cricket and has a huge fan following even amongst
foreign audiences. Tendulkar has made numerous commercial
ventures including opening a chain of restaurants in India. |
