Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (ⁱ/ˌsətʃɪn tɛnˈduːlkər/; born 24 April 1973) is a former Indian cricketer and captain, widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. He took up cricket at the age of eleven, made his Test debut on 15 November 1989 against Pakistan in Karachi at the age of sixteen, and went on to represent Mumbai domestically and India internationally for close to twenty-four years. He is the only player to have scored one hundred international centuries, the first batsman to score a double century in a One Day International, holds the record for most number of runs in both ODI and Test cricket, the only player to complete more than 30,000 runs in international cricket.

In 2002 just half way through his career, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Don Bradman, and the second greatest ODI batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. Later in his career, Tendulkar was a part of the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup, his first win in six World Cup appearances for India. He had previously been named "Player of the Tournament" at the 2003 edition of the tournament, held in South Africa. In 2013, he was the only Indian cricketer included in an all-time Test World XI named to mark the 150th anniversary of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

Famous quotes by Sachin Tendulkar:

"Pakistan have gathered momentum after their test and one-day successes against England. So have we, after our recent run of successes."

"I have no doubt in my mind that Anil is India's greatest bowler ever."

"Dressing room discussions should not come out. If it has come out it was absolutely wrong."

"It has been frustrating. The last game I played was on April 17."

"I think I have already spoken a lot. Now it is time for me to play."

"I admire the work he does off the field as well, especially in Calcutta, and I'm sure people back home would be wishing well for him."

"Anyone would want to play like him, he was completely at a different level as far as mental toughness is concerned."

"I think he set great examples in the way cricket should be played and in tough conditions he would produce some tremendous performances,"

"I will know how much impact my elbow is going to take only when I practice more. Frankly it is too early to say when I will be back."

"A long-term plan is more important so I will not be worried if it takes a couple of weeks more,"

"I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there."

"I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself."

"Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to."

"Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds."

"Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets."

"Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler."

"New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler."

"I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else."
