                                    Sachin Tendulkar,considered by many to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time,was born on 24 April 1973 in Mumbai to a middle-class family.The youngest of four children,Sachin was named after his family's favourite music director,Sachin Dev Burman.His father was a professor,while his mother worked for a life insurance company.Tendulkar was not a particularly gifted Student,but he had first cricket bat,and his talent in the sport was immediately apparent.At the age of fourteen,he Scored 329 out of a world record stand of 664 in a school match.As his accomplishments grew,he became a sort of cult figure among Mumbai Schoolboys.
                                     
                                       After high School,Tendulkar enrolled at Kirti college,where his father taught.The fact that he decided to go to the college where his father worked was no surprise.The Tendulkar family was always very close,and years after he had achieved stardom and cricket fame,he continued to live next door to his parents.
                                          Sachin Tendulkarhas been the most complete batsman of his time,the most profilic run-marker of all time,and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known.His batting is based on the purest principles:perfect balance,economy of movement,precision in stroke-making,and that intangible quality given only to geniuses--anticipation.If he does not have a signature stroke-the upright,back-foot punch comes close-it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots(and plenty of improvised ones as well)and can pull them out at will.
                                                   There are no apparent weakness in Tendulkar's game.He can score all around the wicket,off both front and back,can tune his technique to suit every condition,temper his game to suit every situation,and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.
