Profile Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar Born: 24 April 1973, Bombay Major Teams: Mumbai, Yorkshire, India. Known As: Sachin Tendulkar Batting Style: Right Hand Bat Bowling Style: Right Arm Off Break, Leg Break, Right Arm Medium
Profile: Sachin Tendulkar By popular vote, the greatest batsman in the world today, Sachin Tendulkar has the cricketing world at his feet. The adulation he commands world over is unsurpassed, perhaps since the days of Don Bradman, to whom of course he has been compared, by no less than the great man himself. While he may not end with a Test career average of 99.94, there is little doubt that based on his vigorous style of batsmanship and his insatiable appetite for runs and big scores, he is the most complete batsman since Vivian Richards. In many ways though he has surpassed even that outstanding West Indian batsman.
When Tendulkar is on song, there is no more majestic sight in the cricketing world. The spectators at the stadium are on their feet cheering while all over the world, TV audiences are glued to the screen. He has scored heavily on all kinds of wickets the world over, in conditions which lesser mortals have not been able to master and against bowlers whom other batsmen have found it difficult to score off. Immensely gifted and blessed with an impeccable technique, Tendulkar's batting is a dream, combining timing, elegance and power. Mentally very strong, Tendulkar is best when confronted by a challenge - as he showed when mowing down Shane Warne in India in 1998. Captain during two short stints, Tendulkar has made it clear that he would prefer to concentrate on his batting and indeed, he seems to be getting better with every passing year. Scoring two double centuries in successive seasons and being the first to cross the 10,000 run barrier in ODIs is clear proof of this. The best thing from the fans' point of view - if not the bowler's - is that the entertainment, courtesy Tendulkar, is still at the intermission stage. Long may `The King' continue to regale his willing subjects! While his batting ranks him among the best in the world, he is also a part-time bowler and has played a crucial role as a leg spinner or a medium pace bowler who tends to break partnerships. He has more than a hundred wickets in ODIs and 35 in tests, though his bowling averages are above 40. He continues to perform well under the massive weight of expectation of hundreds of millions of cricket followers, in India and around the world, and most recently was named Player Of The Tournament in the 2003 Cricket World Cup.Incidentally, Sachin is the first batsman to be declared run out by third umpire in 1992 in South Africa. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar Statistics
Sachin Tendulkar celebrates after reaching his world-record 35th Test century, India v Sri Lanka, Delhi, December 10, 2005 Sachin Tendulkar created history by becoming the highest century-getter as India laid the foundation for a mammoth f irst innings total in the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Feroze Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi on Saturday. Tendulkar cracked an unbeaten 100 for his record 35th hundred, the most in Test cricket, as India reached a strong 2 45 for three at stumps on the opening day. Tendulkar's seventh ton against the visitors saw him surpass former captain and compatriot Sunil Gavaskar's tally of 34 for most number of hundreds in the all-time centurions list. Sourav Ganguly was batting on 39 at the other end after playing the supporting role to Tendulkar to perfection. It was also Tendulkar's 125th Test appearance, again matching Gavaskar and the second highest for an Indian. Only Kapil Dev had played in more Tests, 131.
Tendulkar's innings helped India seize the initiative after skipper R ahul Dravid, suffering from illness, made a bold decision to open the innings in the absence of Virendra Sehwag who was down with a throat infection. Tendulkar reached his century with a single off Chaminda Vaas delivery.
His three figure mark came from 177 balls after 277 minutes at the crease, and contained 13 fours and a six. Tendulkar was somewhat circumspect in the initial phase of his innings and had to endure a testing spell of reverse swing bowling by Fernando. LiveIndia,com 10-12-2005.
Some remarkable achievements of his career are:
* 4th highest tally of runs in test cricket (10,134) at an outstanding average of 57.25 (highest among those who have scored over 8,500 test runs) as of March 2005 * Most runs (over 13642) and centuries (38) in one-day internationals * Only person to have scored over 11,000 ODI runs and over 25 ODI centuries as of April 28, 2005 * Highest ODI batting average among Indian batsmen and among all batsmen who have scored over 7,500 ODI runs (as of April 3, 2005) * Most Number of Man of the Matches in one-day internationals * Only player to have over 100 innings of 50+ runs in ODIs as of April 2005 * Most Number of Runs in World Cup Cricket History * First cricketer to cross 10,000-run mark in ODIs * Has equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuries. * Among those who have played over 100 test matches, he is the only one with a batting average above 55. * Only second Indian to cross 10,000 runs in Test matches. * He has the most centuries in ODI cricket against Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. * He is the fastest to score 10,000 runs in test cricket history.
