High School where he began his cricketing career under the guidance of his coach
and mentor, Ramakant Achrekar. During his school days he attended the MRF Pace
Foundation to train as a fast bowler, but Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee,
suggesting that Tendulkar focus on his batting instead.[23]
When he was young, Tendulkar would practice for hours on end in the nets. If he
became exhausted, Achrekar would put a one-Rupee-coin on the top of the stumps,
and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar would get the coin. If Tendulkar passed t
he whole session without getting dismissed, the coach would give him the coin. T
endulkar now considers the 13 coins he won then as some of his most prized posse
ssions.[24]

He scored his first ODI century in 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colomb
o. It had taken him 79 ODIs to score a century.
Tendulkar's rise continued when he was the leading run scorer at the 1996 Cricke
t World Cup, scoring two centuries.[52] He was the only Indian batsman to perfor
m in the infamous semi-final against Sri Lanka.
A chronic back problem flared up when Pakistan toured India in 1999, with India
losing the historic Test at Chepauk despite a gritty century from Tendulkar hims
elf. The worst was yet to come as Professor Ramesh Tendulkar, Tendulkar's father
, died in the middle of the 1999 Cricket World Cup. Tendulkar flew back to India
to attend the final rituals of his father, missing the match against Zimbabwe.
However, he returned with a bang to the World cup scoring a century in his very
next match against Kenya in Bristol. He dedicated this century to his father.[59

2003 was his worst year in test cricket, with an average of 17.25 and just one f
ifty.
On 10 December 2005 at Feroz Shah Kotla, Tendulkar scored his record-breaking 35
th Test century, against the Sri Lankans.
In the test series in Pakistan in 2006, Sachin failed to get going in all three
innings despite the pitches being flat tracks. In the third of those three innin
gs, he was bowled comprehensively after making 26, and ended up on all fours. Th
is prompted The Times of India to publish an article entitled "Endulkar" in whic
h TOI opined that Tendulkar's batting prowess had declined and his career had sl
id permanently.
On 19 March 2006, after scoring an unconvincing 1 off 21 balls against England i
n the first innings of the third Test in his home ground, Wankhede, Tendulkar wa
s booed off the ground by a section of the crowd,[69][70] the first time that he
had ever faced such flak. Tendulkar was to end the three-Test series without a
single half-century to his credit, and news of a shoulder operation raised more
questions about his longevity. Tendulkar was operated upon for his injured shoul
der. In July 2006, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced th
at Tendulkar had overcome his injury problem following a rehabilitation programm
e and was available for selection, and he was eventually selected for the next s
eries.
Tendulkar's comeback came in the DLF cup in Malaysia and he was the only Indian
batsman to shine. In his comeback match, against West Indies on 14 September 200
6, Tendulkar responded to his critics who believed that his career was inexorabl
y sliding with his 40th ODI century.
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 c
ame 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 mu
ch for long periods and become overtly defensive. There were several calls from
him to retire too.
However after the 2007 World Cup, his career had a second wind and his consisten
cy and form have returned.
Tendulkar has got out 23 times between 90 and 100 in his international career.
In the One-Day International Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series involving Sri Lanka an
d Australia, Tendulkar became the first and only batsman to complete 16,000 runs
in ODIs. He achieved this feat against Sri Lanka in 2008 at Brisbane.
Style of play
Tendulkar is cross-dominant: He bats, bowls and throws with his right hand, but
writes with his left hand.

Tendulkar has incorporated several modern and unorthodox strokes into his repert
oire in recent times, including the paddle sweep, the scoop over short fine leg
and the slash to third man over the slips' heads, over the last seven or eight y
ears. This has enabled him to remain scoring consistently in spite of the physic
al toll of injuries and a lean period in the mid-2000s. By his own admission, he
does not bat as aggressively as he did in the 90s and early 2000s, because his
body has undergone changes and cannot sustain aggressive shotmaking over a long
period. He is often praised for his ability to adapt to the needs of his body an
d yet keep scoring consistently.
While Tendulkar is not a regular bowler, he is adept at bowling With his bowlin
g, he has helped secure an Indian victory on more than one occasion.

In recognition with his impact on sport in a cricket-loving country like India,
Tendulkar has been granted the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, Arjuna Award, Padma Shri
and Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India. He was also chosen as one of th
e five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997 and is ranked by the Wisden 100 as
the second best test batsman and best ODI batsman of all time.
On 24 February 2010, Tendulkar broke the previous world record for highest indi
vidual innings in an ODI, and became the first male cricketer to score a double-
century in one-day cricket. He made 200 runs and broke the previous record of 19
4 runs
A child prodigy, he made his international debut in ODIs and Tests at the age of
16 ( yes 16 ) against Pakistan and the fiery pace of Wasim Akram and Waqar Youn
is . He then went to England as a part of the national side, and has not looked
back ever since. In batting, he has reached a stage that others can only dream o
f. He has destroyed practically every bowling opposition in the world - from Sha
ne Warne (Aus.) to Saqlain Mushtaq (Pak.) , and Waqar Younis (Pak.) to Allan Don
ald (RSA) , and in style . Tendulkar 'specialites' include the straight drive (s
eemingly nobody plays the shot better than him ), the cover drive, the square cu
t, the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the delicate leg glance, the late cut
, the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to mention the improvisations
he keeps coming up with time and again. A short but powerful man, some of his s
hots are hit with so much power that the ball simply rockets to the fence as if
he was trying to dismiss the ball from his presence. On the other hand, some of
his shots are simply timed and placed well.
His selfless approach and devotion to cricket coupled with the lack of any ego
problems makes him one of the most approachable and likeable personalities on th
e cricket field. No wonder he commands a huge fan following all over the world.
He is a great thinker of the game and a good strategist too.
