Description Ebook:
The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar
retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most
celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna
Award - India's highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement.
Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his first
Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the
emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a
boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into
cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that
launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin
Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move
watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers. Never has a
cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer
performed at such a high level for so long and with such style -
scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in
both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have
brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century
shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. His many achievements
with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test
rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and
failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism
from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain. Despite
his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very
private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first
time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives
a frank and revealing
