Sachin Tendulkar(April 24, 1973) is an Indian cricketer, widely considered to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time. He currently holds the records for the most cumulative runs in One-Day Internationals, and the most number of centuries scored in both One-day Internationals and Test cricket. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of sixteen, becoming India's youngest Test player. Although primarily a top-order batsman, Tendulkar has often proved to be a useful and effective slow bowler. He received India's highest sporting honour, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in the year 1997-1998 and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999. His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as The Little Master by his adoring fans.
Sachin's Latest World Record
Sachin sets new Test runs record
Oct 17, 2008 Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has become the world record Test runs scorer, surpassing Brian Lara's previous best mark of 11,953. Tendulkar, 35, needed 15 runs to overtake West Indies legend Lara in the standings on the first day of the second Test against Australia in Mohali. And despite being forced to go to tea on 13 not out, the 'Little Master' came out after the interval to hit Australian debutant Peter Siddle's first ball of the session for three runs to spark wild celebrations in the ground. The crowd gave Tendulkar a standing ovation to celebrate his achievement, while a pre-prepared fireworks display was also set off outside. The entire Australian team also stood to applaud the batsman, who received warm handshakes from each member of the opposition lineup. Tendulkar already held the record for Test centuries with 39 in 152 Test matches for India and he is regarded as a living legend in many parts of his homeland - particularly in his native city, Mumbai (formerly Bombay). The batsman's achievement - and brilliance on the big occasion - was almost underlined with a 40th Test century, but it was not to be as he was dismissed on 88 after a catch at slip by Matthew Hayden off the bowling of Sidde. The innings takes Tendulkar's career total to 12,041 – making him the first batsman ever to surpass 12,000 Test runs.

Sachin gives tips to Mumbai players
Dec 01, 2008The Mumbai Ranji Trophy team members, gearing up for a crucial Elite Division Group A tie against Hyderabad commencing on Tuesday at the Bandra-Kurla complex ground of the Mumbai Cricket Association, had an unexpected visitor in Sachin Tendulkar at their practice session on Monday. The champion batsman had come to the ground for his training stint at the state-of-the-art gymnasium in the complex and took the opportunity to interact with the Mumbai players. "I did not expect him to be here. Obviously, his presence is an inspiration to our players. He will have something to say to us later on (after the session)," said team captain Wasim Jaffer. Jaffer said in case the two-Test series against England is called off due to the prevailing circumstances, he would try and request both Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan to play Mumbai's last home fixture scheduled at the same venue. "If the Test series is not taking place I would speak to both Sachin and Zaheer to play the game against Punjab (later this month). In fact, it will be good for Indian cricket if all the players are available to play in Ranji Trophy. It will make it more interesting," he said.
