Sachin Tendulkar


Sachin,the name is enough to rise the adrenalin levels in cricket lovers.The Indian cricket team manager once said that sachin is so patriotic that he keeps an Indan flag along with a Ganesha photo in his kit.He gave the priority to the country that matches to Lord.He is a Unique sportsmen in the world who is so humble and who is minus controversies in his career even though how heigh he reach.His mere presence is learning expereince to the youngsters.The thirst he has for the runs cant be put into words.If he is 17 or 27 or 37 the passion towards the game is same and the way he practises to hours is unchanged.He is treated as a idol all over the world.Sunil Gavasker,his idol once bowed to him infront of thousands of crowd.Bowlers were wary of the destruction he causes when they try sledging tool on him.It was a rare combination of Power,Patriotism,Integrity,Determination,Humbleness,Hardwork,Passion,Fighting spirit.When he is batting for his country the country goes for a pause.The people keep their work aside to have the pleasure of watching his batting.


Sachin has been the most complete batsman of his time and biggest cricket icon and he is the richest cricketer in the world and he is the master of crores of hearts of cricekt lovers.His batting is based on purest principles of perfect balance,economy of movement,precision in stroke-making,and that intangible quality given only to geniuses.His back foot punch,and his proficiency at each of the full range of orthodox shots and can pull them out at will.There are no technical weaknesses in tendulkars game.He can score all around the wicket at will both front and of back foot,can tune his technique to suit every condition,the temperment he maintains is a lesson to many of his contemperory cricketers.


His century as a 19-year old on a lightning-fast pitch at WACA is considered one of the best innings ever to have been in Australia.A few years later he recieved the ultimate compliment from the ultimate batsman:Don Bradman told his wife that Tendulkar reminded him of himself.Some of his finest performances have come against Australia,the dominating team of his era.

His greatness was established when he was only 16 when he made his Test debut where he was hit on the mouth by a deadly bouncer by Waqar,but he continued to bat in a blood-soaked shirt.His first test hundred which was a match saving one came when he was only 17. He had 16 Test Hundreds in his kitty before he turned 25.He became the first batsman to have scored 50 international hundreds.

At a age of 36 years and 306 days he broke a 40-year old barrier by scoring first double-century in the one day criket thus seems to be untouched by age.It seems inevitable that he will become the first cricketer to score 100 international hundreds.He inarguably is considered as the "Don bradman of 21st century".His consistency is so good that considering the humungous epectations he carries with him,who have been prone to anything less than hundred in each innings as a failure.The aura may have dimmed as the years on the international circuit taken toll on the bidy,but SACHIN TENDULKAR remans the most worshipped cricketer in the world.


whenever he struggled in his carrer he always bounced back with a bang and with great comebacks.He was troubled by negative-line bowling,body line bowling and by precision bowling from great bowlers but, he always responded well and dominated them.
