"Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've
got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various
directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on
and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in
the foreground, the rest is in the background." - Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (b. 24 April 1973) is a Indian
cricketer widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of the modern generation,
popularly holds the title "God of Cricket" among his fans.
Former West Indian batsman Brian Lara, have labelled
Tendulkar the greatest cricketer of all time. Sachin Tendulkar took up cricket
at the age of eleven, made his Test debut against Pakistan at the age of
sixteen, and went on to represent Mumbai domestically and India internationally
for close to twenty-four years. He is the only player to have scored one
hundred international centuries, the first batsman to score a Double Century in
a One Day International, and the only player to complete more than 30,000
runs in international cricket. In October 2013, he became the 16th player and
first Indian to aggregate 50,000 runs in all recognised cricket.
Sachin Tendulkar scored his much awaited 100th
international Century on 16th March 2012, at Mirpur against Bangladesh in the
Asia Cup. He became the first person in history to achieve this feat.
Incidentally, it was Tendulkar's first ODI hundred against Bangladesh.
