History Of Sachin Tendulkar- Is he a World Class Player at such a young age?

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was born on 24th April 1973 in a middle class Maharashtrian family at Mumbai. He took to cricket after he was 10 years of age and he played his international cricket at 16. This goes to show that this man was born with instinctive ability and he mastered this game to perfection in no time.

This 5 ft 4 inch wizard of Indian Cricket did his schooling from Shardhashram High School at Dadar, Mumbai. He was coached by Mr. Ramakant Achrekar for whom he's got high esteem. He came into the limelight when he along with Vinod Kambli, his team-mate and close friend scored a massive 664 run partnership in school cricket. From then on there was no looking back for this little genius who has become a sort of a torment for World Class bowlers like Shane Warne

The star of Indian Cricket, more like a 'GOD' in India, Sachin Tendulkar, is the best batsman in the world today, and perhaps the finest ever. He possesses all the strokes in the book, and is probably the best cutter and straight driver of the ball today. He is very deft on his feet, even to the best of pace bowlers, and the deceptive flight of Shane Warne (Aus.) to Saqlain Mushtaq (Pak.), and Waqar Younis (Pak.) to Allan Donald (RSA). He has scored 24 centuries, in One day international (Odes) which happens to be the best in the history of the game and his ever-growing aggregate of 100s in both forms of the game. Only 26 years of age, Tendulkar has to once again shoulder the responsibility of being the captain of a young Indian team as he took over from Azharuddin in July 1999 for his second stint. Tendulkar averages well over 40 in ODIs and over 50 in Tests.

Tendulkar is a batsman who does not like to be kept quiet, in tests or in one-day internationals. He always wants to dominate the bowlers, and he does an excellent job of it. His strike rate in One-day internationals is over 85 per 100 balls, which is superb. He is an excellent hitter of the ball- he uses one of the heaviest bats, and he holds the record for most sixes by an Indian in a one day international - 7 sixes!

His technique is impeccable, he packs tremendous power and strength into his short, stocky frame, ...
