He looked the embodiment of India's famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads. Me (as many Indians), started watching cricket only because of Sachin... but slowly started enjoying other aspects... I may be little non-patriotic, but I always prefer India to move on with in a series just to see Sachin play more matches...I am afraid of stopping to watch cricket after this. On October 28, 2012, Sunday afternoon, the master blaster and his son were seen practicing at Mumbai and getting ready to face the English team.

The argument here isn't about Tendulkar deserving a farewell Test or not, the farewell Test is under way. Most century partnerships for opening pair in the cricket history- Ganguly and Sachin put together 20 century partnerships as opening pair. I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. Lucky to have seen a sportsman as supremely talented Sachin Tendulkar is. Proud that the coming generation would only be able to read and hear a first-hand account from us of the man who was worshiped as God. Sachin didn't surprise by becoming the first to smash the 200-run barrier in ODIs.

The next day Sachin who was not out on 94 on day one scored his hundred and true to his words Mr. Achrekar came to Sachin's home for dinner that night which was the most satisfying moment for him. In the year 2011, people witnessed a rare sight as Sachin Tendulkar bowled to son Arjun Tendulkar at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I think Sachin should now come out of retirement and make himself available for the South African tour. The book is Sachin's own words as told to his Co-writer Boria Majumdar who worked closely with Sachin.

Besides appearing twice in the above Sachin Tendulkar list, Sachin Tendulkar, in 2001 scored 4 Hundreds batting in 16 innings out of the 17 matches he played. God of cricket for many fans and sports stars across the globe Sachin Tendulkar met Narendra Modi regarding adopting a village under ‘Sansaad Adarsh Gram Yojana' an initiative which was addressed by the honourable prime minister of India Shri.

In the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Tendulkar surpassed Australia's Allan Border to become the player to cross the 50-run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 10 Test centuries against Australia, after only Sir Jack Hobbs of England more than 70 years back. Minister of arts Crene, who also presented Tendulkar a stump painted by indigenous artist Janice Murray along with the medal and certificate, hailed the cricketer for his philanthropy and for being a spokesperson for charities. Tendulkar too, piled on those numbers and after 24 years, boy, they look astronomical.

Tendulkar has proved to many around he world of his great talent and experiences, thanks for this informative hub. We don't identify Tendulkar with cricket anymore, but with a way of life, an entire philosophy even. The lap of honor was in progress, and he made sure the infant saw Sachin Tendulkar hoisted upon the shoulders of Indian cricket's next-gen, the tricolor draped on his own. Tendulkar is the first batsmen in the game of cricket to score 100 international centuries. Hope he will gradually learn to understand the value of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

Tendulkar has also consistently done well in Cricket World Cups Tendulkar was the highest run scorer of the 2003 Cricket World Cup and 1996 Cricket World Cup Tendulkar has scored over 1000 runs in a calendar year in ODIs 7 times, and in 1998 he scored 1894 runs, easily the record for the highest number of runs scored by any player in a single calendar year for one day internationals.

On March 19, 2006, after scoring an unconvincing 1 off 21 balls against England in the first innings of the third Test in his home ground, Wankhede , Tendulkar was booed off the ground by a section of the crowd, 53 54 the first time that he had ever faced such flak. Amidst the busy IPL schedule, Sachin took time out from an ad shoot to visit the tree under which Swami had delivered a discourse in 1973 during His North India trip.
