Demigod to millions of cricket fans around the world, Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps the greatest batsman the world has seen after the great Sir Don Bradman. Playing international cricket from age 16, breaking and setting records all along, Sachin Tendulkar is indeed a gift to the cricketing world. From being a child prodigy who made a century on first class debut to becoming the player to score the most number of international centuries, Sachin Tendulkar has done it all. He made his debut against Pakistan in 1989 and has since played 132 Tests and 363 ODIs and has averages of 55 and 44 respectively. He has scored 74 international centuries which is more than anyone else. He is also only the second Indian to score 10,000 runs in Tests. Sachin Tendulkar was made captain of India in 1996 but found the job unsuitable and resigned in 1998, only to be appointed captain once again in 1999-2000. This time also he resigned and Sourav Ganguly was made the new skipper. This is perhaps one of the few achievements that has eluded Tendulkar-leading the side successfully. However once free from the additional responsibilities, Sachin went back to his brilliant form and continued to pile up runs. Mentally strong and a very deep thinking cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar is a master of the game. Apart from his blistering batting, he can also bowl and has often bowled the side to victory. He is a complete team man, unassuming and selfless. This was specially highlighted when he returned to join the team in England during the 1999 World Cup after the sad demise of his father. With still some years of cricket left in him, Sachin Tendulkar will only further establish his rock solid position in cricket and keep entertaining and amazing fans all over. livescore.warofcricket.com provides the profile of Sachin Tendulkar and other cricketers around the world. |
