SACHIN TENDULKAR :- “A Gladiator that has been never
seen before on cricket field, a man who born to live the game”
T-200*
Early days:-
It started when the genius was only 10 years old and the boy grown up only at an age, where many kids are fascinated with cartoons or spend most of their time with music and movies. Sachin from his early days was in utter different mood of doing something that has not been done before, he debut for India at the age of 16, in an era where generally carrier begins in the 30's.
On day 18th December, Sachin Tendulkar made his ODI debut in 1989 v/s
Pakistan at Gujranwala. A Journey that commenced in
1989 Against arch rivals Pakistan. A little boy took his first
guard as Indian Cricketer with slogans gunning “ Sachin Jao Sachin Jao Doodh ki
Bottle leke aago”. “ Kisne Socha na tha ek Chota sa Ladka itna Lamba Jayega”
Rise through the God :-
In the fourth test in Sialkot, he was hit on the nose by a bouncer bowled by Imran Khan, but he declined medical
assistance and continued to bat even as he gushed blood from it
In a 20 over exhibition game in Peshawar, held in parallel with the bilateral series, Tendulkar made 53 runs off
18 balls, including an over in which he scored 27 runs off leg-spinner Abdul Qadir.
A Test century as he made 119 not out at Old
Trafford in Manchester. Wisden described his innings as "a disciplined
display of immense maturity" and also wrote:-
"He looked the embodiment of India's
famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads. While he
displayed a full repertoire of strokes in compiling his maiden Test hundred,
most remarkable were his off-side shots from the back foot. Though only 5ft 5in
tall, he was still able to control without difficulty short deliveries from the
English pacemen."
Sachin's Legacy my way:-
I grew up watching him play. The day I became aware of the game of cricket, I was familiar with only two names Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar.
Kapil Dev for obvious reasons as he holds the World Cup crown at first for the nation and yes off-course one of the finest all-rounders world cricket had witness but no one was aware of the Leagacy they were going to witness over the next two decades.
One my fav innings was from Sharjah where the master batsmen crashed the lethal Aussie attack apart.
I always followed the genius being a kid and always wish to be like him.
I felt Sachin as a part of family like many other Indians, whenever he fails to score runs or got injured we all used to get so much disappointed or even cried at times but his appearance, pictures or even his name always been an source of inspiration. A kind of electrifying current flows through my body every time I get glimpse of Sachin Tendulkar.
One of an incidents was when Sachin scored 140 odd against the Pakistan although we lose the game but that was another gem innings from the maestro. On the other day of the match was my board exam and I honestly had no concerns for the exam but only for my Super Hero that always been infused in my blood. As I was watching TV my mother came in to my room and get furious to saw his kid's focus and determination towards the match and not a hint of bother for board exam. She straight away switched of the Tv and scolded me like anything and ask me how I can be so careless for my studies, as I waited for my mother to just cool down a bit, I humbly replied back mother don't worry Sachin is playing and about to score a ton and I promise my studies will not take a hit as my superman will score a ton, so I will be scoring a ton in my exam as well. I don't know how and why but my mother switched on the tv and with book in my hand and eyes on TV I had spent my evening before exam, though I hadn't score ton but yes able to score 75 in English.
Sachin will be never less then god to me,I worship him like a devotee not only as a player but as an great ambassador to Humanity.

From Cricketing legends :-
Sachin is a combination of Sunil Gavaskar and Vivian Richards: VVS Laxman
Other cricketers may break Sachin's records, but no one will be able to match the admiration for Sachin: Dilip Vengsarkar
When he turned 37, many said Sachin has overstayed. He answered with a double century in ODI: Anil Kumble at Pataudi Memorial lecture in Mumbai
Sir Donald Bradman, considered by many as the greatest batsman of all time, considered
Tendulkar to have a batting style similar to his. In his biography, it is
stated that "Bradman was most taken by Tendulkar's technique, compactness and shot
production, and had asked his wife to have a look at Tendulkar, having felt
that Tendulkar played like him. Bradman's wife, Jessie, agreed that they did
appear similar.
Injuries, Criticism :-
A Career that’s almost supposed to be over either by injuries
or critics much earlier has lasted for 24+ years.
Many experts from different arena have talked about Sachin's overstayed in the game and many other suggestion regarding his reflexes are getting slow or eye sight is getting weeker, and even quitting the game early and so on & so forth but Sachin has always other ideas he neve replies his critics with words he always better use his Bat to answer all the questions that being ask from him.
His Determination, Hunger,
Passion, keeps him going on n on.
Sachin Classic :-
Tendulkar is cross-dominant: He bats, bowls and throws with his right hand, but writes with his
left hand.[He also practices left-handed throws at the nets on a
regular basis.
Cricinfo columnist Sambit Bal has described him as the "most wholesome
batsman of his time".His batting is based on complete balance and poise
while limiting unnecessary movements and flourishes. He appears to show little
preference for the slow and low wickets which are typical in India, and has
scored many centuries on the hard, bouncy pitches in South Africa and
Australia. He is known for his
unique punch style of hitting the ball over square. He is also renowned for his
picture-perfect straight drive, often completed with no follow-through.
Straight drive is his favourite shot.
In
2008 Sunil Gavaskar, in
an article he wrote in the AFP, remarked that "it is hard to imagine any
player in the history of the game who combines classical technique with raw
aggression like the little champion does"
While Tendulkar is not a regular bowler, he can bowl medium pace, leg
spin, and off spin. He often bowls when two batsmen of the opposite team have been batting
together for a long period, as he can often be a useful partnership breaker.
With his bowling, he has helped secure an Indian victory on more than one
occasion.
He has taken 202 international
wickets - 46 in Tests, 154 in ODIs where he is India's tenth highest wicket
taker, and one wicket in t-20.
"Sachin is retired from cricket but cricket can't be retired from Sachin"
With Tears in my eyes and nostalgia in my words I am saying and will always say #ThankYouSachin
"Mortals go. Legends remain forever"
"A God of Cricket who can't Retire"
