LEGEND OF CRICKET

SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR

The name requires no introduction to the fans of cricket .In india cricket is a religion and sachin is recognized as god .He is nicknamed as Tendalya and little master .Perhaps the most complete batsman and the most worshipped cricketer in the world, Tendulkar holds just about every batting record worth owning in the game, including those for most runs and hundreds in Tests and ODIs, and most international runs.Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific runmaker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses - anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.

There are no apparent weaknesses in Tendulkar's game. He can score all around the wicket, off both front foot and back, can tune his technique to suit every condition, temper his game to suit every situation, and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.

some of the finest perfomance in his carrier as 19 year old guy scored century on the lightning fast pitch of  waca which is on of the best innings in his career.

Blessed with the keenest of cricket minds, and armed with a loathing for losing, Tendulkar set about doing what it took to become one of the best batsmen in the world. His greatness was established early: he was only 16 when he made his Test debut. He was hit on the mouth by Waqar Younis but continued to bat, in a blood-soaked shirt. His first Test hundred, a match-saving one at Old Trafford, came when he was 17, and he had 16 Test hundreds before he turned 25. In 2000 he became the first batsman to have scored 50 international hundreds, in 2008 he passed Brian Lara as the leading Test run-scorer, and in the years after, he went past 13,000 Test runs 30,000 international runs, and 50 Test hundreds.

 He currently holds the record for most hundreds in both Tests and ODIs - remarkable, considering he didn't score his first ODI hundred till his 79th match. Incredibly, he retains a divine enthusiasm for the game: at 36 years and 306 days he broke a 40-year-old barrier by scoring the first double-century in one-day cricket. In 2012, when just one month short of his 39th birthday, he became the first player to score 100 international centuries, which like Bradman's batting average, could be a mark that lasts for ever. Later that year, though, he announced his retirement from ODIs after a disappointing 18 months in international cricket.

They are also many other players like vinod kambali who is best friend of tendulkar who is hilghly talented than tendulkar who made debut to the indian cricket has tasted success but got carried away with success which lead to ruin his career.but sachin still plays because of the commitment,dedication and passion towards the game .even in the modern T2O game he has adaptoed to the game and scoring equally with the young stars of modern game.

He almost played 198 tests in his test career  and scored about 51 centuries and about 15837 runs.

MY VIEW ABOUT TENDULKAR 
In my view he is the best cricketer who cannot be replaced by any one in the world cricket.The commitment,dedication and his passion towards the game took him to the highest stage.inspite of his success he never showed the superior feeling and he is one of the few cricketers who has a clean record with out any issues in and outside the filed.His presence in the dressing rooms gives immense confidence to the players and creates fear in the opposition dressing room.The commitment which allowed him to continue for such a long period of time i e around  24 years .
even today when he walks in to bat there are lot of expectations on him to perform.
But one fact every tendulkar fan should remember that he will retire some day .where we cannot see the fabulos shots that come out of his bat 
Even when he is at the time of bad patches in his career many commented on him saying that its time for him to retire but he never said a word to those who commented on him but answered all there questions by scoring runs with the bat . In this occasion i would like to share an incident between brad hogg and tendulkar in the series between ind vs aus .Brad hogg has picked the wicket of tendulkar in the match .After the match hogg asked tendulkar to sign the ball .tendulkar signed the ball and replied him that he would never loose my wicket in your bowling.after the statement both faced each other about 21 times but Sachin never loose his wicket  in his bowling that shows how  confident as a cricketer.
