Sachin Tendulkar has played a key role in Indian test cricket ever since
his debut at an early age in 1992. A child cricket prodigy who has lived up
to his early promise. He is one of the most decorated players in the
history of cricket. After his retirement from the game in 2013, he was
awarded Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award – the youngest
person to receive this award.
He has played many flawless innings and led India to many notable
victories, not least over arch rivals and the number one test side –
Australia in 2008. Standing only 5 ft 5 in. Tendulkar has often been called
‘The Little master’ – or even God of Cricket. He has a wonderful technique
and can score runs with great fluency and style. He has minimal movement
and can play a wide range of shots.
Sometimes Tendulkar has been criticised for making runs against easy
opposition and not rising to the big occasion. But, that criticism is not
entirely fair and Tendulkar has recently made some key hundreds in the
most testing situations.
Sachin Tendulkar was the first non-Yorkshireman born player to play for
the county. It was a key moment for Yorkshire CC. Unfortunately, it was
not an unreserved success as his dominant form deserted him.
He was also the first player to pass 10,000 runs in limited overs cricket.
At the start of 2013, he had accumulated a record 18,000 ODI runs,
giving him over 34,000 runs at international level – a record that could
stand for a long time.
