Sachin Tendulkar Biography
Sachin Tendulkar has played a key role in Indian test cricket ever since his debut at an early age in 1992. A child cricket prodigy who has lived up to his early promise.
He has played many flawless innings and led India to many notable victories, not least over arch rivals and the number 1 test side - Australia in 2008.
Sometimes Tendulkar has been criticised for making runs against easy opposition and not rising to the big occasion. But, that criticism is not entirely fair and Tendulkar has recently made some key hundreds in the most testing of situations.
Sachin Tendulkar was the first non-Yorkshireman born player to play for the county. It was a key moment for Yorkshire CC. Unfortunately, it was not an unreserved success as his dominant form deserted him.
He currently has over 14,000 Test runs making him one of the highest test run scorers of all time.
He was also the first player to pass 10,000 runs in limited overs cricket.
In India Sachin Tendulkar receives huge adulation befitting a top cricket player. At times the adulation can switch to intense scrutiny as the Indians desperately seek greater success in the international era.
He is the only player to score a double century in one day internationals.
