Childhood
Sachin Tendulkar was born at Nirmal Nursing Home on 24 April
1973 to
Rajni
Tendulkar and Ramesh
Tendulkar. Due to his mischievous and annoying tendencies, Ajit introduced
him to cricket in 1984. He introduced the young Sachin to
Ramakant
Achrekar, a famous cricket coach and a club cricketer of repute, at
Shivaji
Park,
Dadar.
Achrekar was impressed with Tendulkar's talent and advised him to shift his
schooling to Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School, a school at Dadar which had
a dominant cricket team and had produced many notable cricketers. In 1987, at
the age of 14, he attended the
MRF Pace Foundation in Madras (now
Chennai) to train
as a
fast
bowler, but Australian fast bowler
Dennis
Lillee, who took a world record 355 Test wickets, was unimpressed,
suggesting that Tendulkar focus on his batting. He was involved in an unbroken
664-run
partnership in a Lord Harris Shield
inter-school game against St. Xavier's High School in 1988 with his friend
Vinod Kambli.
Marriage
On 24 May 1995, at the age of 22, Tendulkar married Anjali.
She is six years his senior. They have two children, Sara (born 12 October
1997) and Arjun (born 24 September 1999).
Career
Tendulkar made his
Test
debut against Pakistan in
Karachi in November 1989
aged just 16 years and 223 days. Tendulkar further raised his reputation as a
future great during the 1991–1992 tour of Australia held that included an
unbeaten 148 in the third Test
Sydney and 114 on a fast, bouncing pitch in
the final Test at
Perth against a world-class pace. Tendulkar's
performance through the years 1994–1999 coincided with his physical peak, in
his early twenties.
Sachin Tendulkar continued performing well in Test cricket
in 2001 and 2002, with some pivotal performances with both bat and ball.
Tendulkar made 673 runs in 11 matches in the
2003 Cricket World Cup, helping India reach
the final. Tendulkar was awarded as Man of the Tournment award. The drawn
series as India toured Australia in 2003/04 saw Tendulkar making his mark in
the last Test of the series, with 241 not out in
Sydney, putting India in a virtually
unbeatable position. He followed up the innings with an unbeaten 60 in the
second innings of the test.
Tennis elbow then took its peal on Tendulkar, leaving him
out of the side for most of the year. Sachin
told that he thought it was the
end of his career and he was unable to pick his son’s plastic bat also for four
months. At that time so many friends helped him to recover from that phase.
During this period from about 2002 to 2006–7, Tendulkar's
batting often seemed to be a shadow of its former self. He was inconsistent,
and his big knocks mostly came in sedate, accumulative, uncharacteristic
fashion. He seemed to have either cut out or lost the ability to
play many shots, including the hook and pull and many other aerial strokes. He
also developed a tendency to go without scoring much for long periods and
become overtly defensive. However, after the 2007 World Cup, his career had a
second wind and his consistency and form returned.
He achieved all his desires in last four years only. In 2011 world cup which was hosted by
Bangladeh, India and Srilanka From February to April, Scored 482 runs at
an average of 53.55 including two centuries, Tendulkar was India's lead
run-scorer for the tournament . India defeated Sri Lanka in the final.Shortly
after the victory, Tendulkar commented that "Winning the World Cup is the
proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy."
Tendulkar scored his much awaited 100th international
hundred on 16 March 2012, at Mirpur against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup. He
became the first person in history to achieve this feat. Incidentally, it was
Tendulkar's first ODI hundred against Bangladesh. He said "It's been a
tough phase for me ... I was not thinking about the milestone, the media
started all this, wherever I went, the restaurant, room service, everyone was
talking about the 100th hundred. Nobody talked about my 99 hundreds. It became
mentally tough for me because nobody talked about my 99 hundreds."
IPL
In 2010 edition of Indian Premier League, Mumbai Indians
reached the final of the tournament. Tendulkar made 618 runs in 14 innings
during the tournament, breaking
Shaun Marsh's
record of most runs in an IPL season. He was declared player of the tournament
for his performance during the season. He also won Best Batsman and Best
Captain awards at
2010 IPL Awards ceremony. In 2013 Mumbai
Indians won both the IPL and Champions League Twenty twenty trophies .

international cricket on Sunday (December 23). Tendulkar spoke to N Srinivasan,
the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and conveyed his
decision to retire from the one-day format, a BCCI release said.

eternally grateful to all my well wishers for their unconditional support and
love over the years.”
