Sachin Tendulkar

 

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar(DOB April 24,1973) made his Test Debut(aged 16 Years) in 1989 against Pakistan in Karachi and scored 15 Runs being bowled by Waqar Younis who also made his debut in the match.In all, he scored 215 runs at an average of 35.83 in the Test series, and was dismissed without scoring a run in the only ODI he played

 

Pakistan series was followed by a tour of New Zealand in which he scored 117 runs at an average of 29.25 in, Tests including an innings of 88 in the Second Test.He was dismissed without scoring in one of the two one-day games he played, and scored 36 in the other.

In 1990 England Tour of India,Sachin Tendulkar became the second youngest cricketer to score a Test century as he made 119* at Old Trafford (his 1st Test Ton)

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 paceman."

 Sachin Tendulkar scored his1st ODI Century on Sep 9,1994 against Australia at Colombo,Sri Lanka. It had taken him 79 ODIs to Score a Century.

Sachin Tendulkar has scored over 1000 runs in a Calendar Year in ODIs 7 times, and in 1998 he scored 1894 runs,the record for the highest number of runs scored by any player in a single calendar year for ODI's.

Sachin Tendulkar is the 1st and the only cricketer to accomplish the feat of scoring a Hundred Centuries in International Cricket which includes 49 ODI & 51Test Cricket Centuries.

Sachin Tendulkar surpassed Brian Lara's Record for the most runs(11,953 runs) scored in Test cricket in the second Test of  2008 Australian Tour of India on Oct 17,2008 in Mohali and became the 1st batsman to score 12,000, 13,000, 14,000 and 15,000 runs in Test Cricket.


Sachin Tendulkar was also the first player to score 10,000 runs in one-day internationals, and also the first player to cross every subsequent 1000-run mark that has been crossed in ODI cricket history.

In the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Tendulkar surpassed Australia's Allan Border  to become the player to cross the 50-run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 11 Test centuries against Australia, tying with Sir Jack Hobbs( England )more than 70 years previously.
