Sachin Tendulkar
The most successful cricketer
ever
Sachin
Tendulkar is seen as being one of the best batsmen of all time. He
started the sport at the age of 11 and made his debut for India at the age of
16 in a test match against Pakistan. He went on to play for the Mumbai
Indians in the IPL who he played domestic cricket for, for 24 years. His
stats just compliment and emphasize how great a batsman he really was. he was
the only player ever to score 100 international centuries in his carrier, he
was the first cricketer to score 200 runs in one game. He also proudly holds
the record for the most runs in test and domestic cricket.
In 2011
he was part of the Indian cricket team that won the 2011 world cup. Earlier in
his carrier he received the Arjuna award in 1994 for his outstanding sporting
achievement, the Rajiv Ghandi Khel Ratna award in 1997 which is the highest
regarded sporting award in India. Then on the 16th of November 2013 he was
awarded the Bharat Ratna Indias highest civilian award. So far he is the
youngest person to receive this award. He was also the first sportsman to given
an hororary rank in the of group captain by the Indian airforce. He was
nominated to the upper house in the Indian parliament also.
In
October 2013 Tendulkar retired from domestic cricket and later retired from all
forms of cricket after his 200th test match. Throughout his career he played
664 international matches in total, he scored 34,356 runs.
In my opinion he is the best
cricketer of all time
