Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (/ˌsʌtʃɪn tɛnˈduːlkər/ ( listen); pronounced [sət͡ʃin t̪ eːɳɖulkəɾ];

born 24 April 1973) is a former international cricketer of India who served as captain of
the Indian national team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the
history of cricket.[6] He is the highest run scorer of all time in international cricket, and the
only player to have scored one hundred international centuries, the first batsman to
score a double century in a One Day International (ODI), the holder of the record for the
most runs in both Test and ODI cricket, and the only player to complete more than
30,000 runs in international cricket. [7] In 2013, he was the only Indian cricketer included
in an all-time Test World XI named to mark the 150th anniversary of Wisden Cricketers'
Almanack.[8][9][10] He is affectionately known as "Little Master" or "Master Blaster". [11][12][13][14]
Tendulkar took up cricket at the age of eleven, made his Test debut on 15 November
1989 against Pakistan in Karachi at the age of sixteen, and went on to
represent Mumbai domestically and India internationally for close to twenty-four years.
In 2002, halfway through his career, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack ranked him the
second-greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Don Bradman, and the second-
greatest ODI batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards.[15] Later in his career, Tendulkar
was a part of the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup, his first win in six World
Cup appearances for India.[16] He had previously been named "Player of the
Tournament" at the 2003 edition of the tournament, held in South Africa.
Tendulkar received the Arjuna Award in 1994 for his outstanding sporting achievement,
the Khel Ratna award in 1997, India's highest sporting honour, and the Padma
Shri and Padma Vibhushan awards in 1999 and 2008, respectively, India's fourth- and
second-highest civilian awards.[17] After a few hours of his final match on 16 November
2013, the Prime Minister's Office announced the decision to award him the Bharat
Ratna, India's highest civilian award.[18][19] He is the youngest recipient to date and the first
ever sportsperson to receive the award.[20][21] He also won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers
Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards. [22] In 2012, Tendulkar was nominated
to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India.[23] He was also the first
sportsperson and the first person without an aviation background to be awarded the
honorary rank of group captain by the Indian Air Force.[24] In 2012, he was named an
Honorary Member of the Order of Australia.[25][26]
