Sachin Tendulkar - GOD of Cricket

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973 in Bombay, Maharashtra, India) is an Indian Cricketer who is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of Cricket. In 2002, Wisden rated him as the second greatest Test batsman after Sir Donald Bradman, and the greatest One-Day International batsman.
He holds several highly regarded batting records and is the leading scorer of centuries in both Test Cricket and one-day internationals. He is one of the three batsmen to surpass 11,000 runs in Test cricket, and the first Indian to do so. He is the most prolific run scorer in ODIs by a margin of over 4000 runs and has scored the most runs in international cricket as a whole. He crossed 16,000 runs in ODIs on February 5, 2008 while playing against Sri Lanka in Brisbane, Australia. Affectionately called 'The Little Master' or 'The Master Blaster', Tendulkar made his first-class debut for the Mumbai Cricket Team aged 14 and scored a century on debut. He made his international test debut in 1989 against Pakistan in Karachi at age 16.
He is the only cricketer to receive the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour and the only cricketer and one of the first sportsmen (along with Vishwanathan Anand) to receive the Padma Vibhushan(2008), the second highest civilian honour of India. He is the most sponsored player in world cricket and has a huge fan following even amongst foreign audiences. Tendulkar has made numerous commercial ventures including opening a chain of restaurants in India.

Sachin Tendulkar smashed two sixes off successive deliveries to hasten India's eight-wicket victory in the first cricket Test against Australia at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here Tuesday.
India have gone one up in the four-Test series.

After removing the last Australian wicket for the addition of only nine more runs to their overnight score 232, India were left to score 50 to win. They attained it for the loss of openers Murali Vijay and Virender Sehwag cheaply for a second time in the match.

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was adjudged man of the match for his brilliant 224 that helped India put on a mammoth 572 in the first innings in reply to Australia's 380.

Debutant Moises Henriques was left 19 short of a well-deserved hundred when last man Nathan Lyon was caught bat-pad off left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who finished with three for 72.

Ravichandran Ashwin bagged five for 95 to follow up his seven-wicket haul in Australia's first innings.

Australia made it tough for the Indians to get to the meagre target. James Pattinson(1/13) struck to remove Vijay (6), Henriques pulling off a overhead stunner at mid-off.

Nathan Lyon (1/29) struck in the 10th over to get rid of Virender Sehwag (19), easily caught at slip by Michael Clarke.

The 39-year-old Tendulkar walked in at 36 for two and straightaway lofted Lyon for two consecutive sixes over mid-on and that left India two more runs to win.
