Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar – a living legend that distances beyond cricket – made his debut for India at age 16, and subsequently played for 24 years, longer than anyone else. Known as the “Little Master”, his style and technique has elegance equivalent to his passion and determination, he became a legend among legends. He innately redefined the game with his 2003 World Cup turn at the finals, with him contributing in terms of record matches played, or as the first player to score 100 international hundreds.
As does one simply redefine batting, by widening the definition? While his humility after all on-field dominance, the fans chanted his name, elevated from Wankhede to the hip stadiums around the globe. No matter the milestone, Tendulkar played not for records but for a billion hearts-tapping into the dreams of the ages. He unified generations of players and many cricketers recognized his cover drives, perfection and devotion to cricket. To date, his career is regarded as the gold standard for emerging cricketers globally, based on a natural talent, an elevated level of it surely, pure bent and hard work.
