सचिन tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born 24 April 1973) is an Indian cricketer, universally acknowledged as one of the best batsmen of the modern era. He currently holds the record for the most number of runs in One-Day Internationals, and the most number of centuries scored both in One-Day Internationals and in Test cricket. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at sixteen, becoming India's youngest Test player. Primarily a top-order batsman, Tendulkar has occasionally proven a useful slow bowler. He received the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour, for 1997-1998, and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999. Tendulkar appeared on the front cover of the Indian edition of TIME magazine in 2002 when he was chosen as one of its "Asian Heroes". His prowess has earned him the nicknames "Little Master" (also accorded to Sunil Gavaskar) and "Master Blaster" (once used for Viv Richards). He also recieved the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997.
