Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
pronunciation, born April 24, 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra,
India, is an Indian cricketer widely regarded as one of the
greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden
ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time next
only to Sir Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day
international (ODI) batsman of all time next only to Sir Viv
Richards. In September 2007, Shane Warne, the world-record
breaking Australian leg spinner, rated Sachin Tendulkar as
the greatest player he has played with or against. Sachin
Tendulkar was the only player of the current generation to
be included in Bradman's Eleven, the dream team of Sir
Donald Bradman, published in his biography. He is sometimes
referred to as the Little Master or the Master Blaster.
Tendulkar is the highest run scorer in both Test matches and
ODIs, and also the batsman with the most centuries in either
form of the game. On October 17, 2008, when he surpassed
Brian Lara's record for the most runs scored in Test
Cricket, he also became the first batsman to score 12,000
runs in that form of the game, having also been the third
batsman and first Indian to pass 11,000 runs in Test
cricket. He was also the first player to score 10,000 runs
in one-day internationals, and also the first player to
cross every subsequent 1000-run mark that has been crossed
in ODI cricket history. 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. Tendulkar has been honored with the Padma
Vibhushan award, India's second highest civilian award, and
the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting
honor. |
