Tendulkar is the most prolific batsman in the history of cricket, scoring more centuries and runs in both Test and one-day formats than any other player. The sheer quality of his batsmanship, matchless stroke-making and always letting his bat do the talking made Tendulkar more recognisable than any other cricketer. From a teenager taking on the best Pakistani attack to scoring his 100th century at 38, Tendulkar has enjoyed more than two decades at the top of the game, and rewrote the history.

Sachin Tendulkar Facts

Tendulkar is referred to as the ‘God of Cricket’ by Indian cricket followers.
Tendulkar took up cricket at the age of eleven.
Tendulkar was involved in an unbroken 664-run partnership in a Lord Harris Shield inter-school game against St. Xavier’s High School in 1988 with his friend and teammate Vinod Kambli.
In 1987, at the age of 14, Tendulkar attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Madras (now Chennai) to train as a fast bowler, but Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee, who took a world record 355 Test wickets, was unimpressed and suggested that he should focus on his batting instead.
Sachin served as a ball boy in the 1987 Cricket World Cup when India played against England in the semifinal in Bombay.
On 20 January 1987, Tendulkar turned out as a substitute for Imran Khan’s side in an exhibition game at Brabourne Stadium in Bombay.
In 1992, at the age of 19, Tendulkar became the first overseas-born player to represent Yorkshire, which prior to Tendulkar joining the team, never selected players even from other English counties.
Sir Donald Bradman considered Tendulkar to have a batting style similar to his. In his biography, it is stated that “Bradman was most taken by Tendulkar’s technique, compactness and shot production, and had asked his wife to have a look at Tendulkar, having felt that Tendulkar played like him. Bradman’s wife, Jessie, agreed that they did appear similar.
Tendulkar, by a distance, is the most worshipped cricketer in the world. One of the most popular sayings by his fans is “Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God.” However, on God, Tendulkar himself is reported to have said “I am not God of cricket. I make mistakes, God doesn’t.
Tendulkar made a special appearance in the Bollywood film Stumped in 2003, appearing as himself.
Tendulkar sponsors 200 underprivileged children every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO.
