When he was a young boy, Sachin Tendulkar's brother introduced him to a game which was to change his life and the lives of millions of Indian. The young boy was a natural cricketer, but practiced for hours on end, standing strong when others would have fallen. His coach egged him on, challenging him to up his game. And he did, becoming more than just a star in the cricketing firmament. He went on to become the youngest Indian player in international cricket, winning the hearts of millions of fans as he blazed his way to century after century, rewriting record after record.
Born in Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut in Pakistan at the age of 16 in 1989. One of the most gifted and entertaining batsmen to have played international cricket, he scored more runs and made more centuries than any other player in history - in both Tests and ODIs. He made his first Test century at the age of 17, at the age of 36 he became the first player to make a one-day double century and in 212 he scored his 1th international hundred. With India he won the World Cup in 211 and reached the top of the world Test rankings in the same year. In 213, he retired from cricket after playing his 2th and final Test in front of his home crowd in Mumbai.
