A World Recorder - Master Sachin

Tendulkar is already sitting on a mountain of records and this was another feather in his crown. What an innings it was. During the last overs of the innings, he was looking a bit tired but still running very well and converting one’s into two’s.
Sachin Tendulkar is going to fly high quite literally and give Top Gun a new meaning. The master blaster is soon to become an officer of the Indian Air Force with the Air Headquarters having finalised plans to make him an honorary Group Captain and the President having given her nod for the same on Wednesday.
It's the first time a cricketer will get this honour. There was considerable debate as to what rank the great batsman should be given. Wing Commander and Squadron Leader were deemed too junior for the national icon, who has 20 years of top class cricket under his belt..

A Great Cricket Achiever - Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is an Indian Cricketer, often regarded as the greatest batsman in the history of cricket. He set a new record in 2008 for the highest number of runs in Test cricket history.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar born April 24, 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, is an Indian cricketer widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time next only to Sir Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day international (ODI) batsman of all time next only to Sir Viv Richards.
I can never forget debutant Sachin Tendulkar walking into bat as a 16-year-old in the Karachi Test of 1989. I was fielding at mid-on as Wasim Akram tested him with pace and movement, Yes, Tendulkar was beaten but the confidence with which he tried to drive the ball was amazing.

A Cricket Don - Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar, the little Master has done it yet again... unbeaten 200 runs in 147 balls. It was a treat to watch Sachin him bat. altought scoring a record double century after the 199th run took almost 2 overs, in turn increasing the heartbeats of millions of people across India.
 The fact is that the cricket crazy mass of India have been so spoilt by the Masters’ exploits and thus they expect so much from him. The more he has succeeded, the more has been expected. This is the reason they are not ever satisfied by him. I doubt if there has been any player in the world, in any sport, who has been subjected to such intense and back breaking pressure. Sachin has taken all those things in his stride. This was the reason Shane Warne regarded Sachin as the mentally toughest batsman he ever bowled to.

It’s a remarkable achievement in the history of cricket, as none other player has succeeded in this. With this marvelous score Sachin has left back the record of “Saeed Anwar”who scored 194 against India in Chennai May 1997 and Zimbabwe’s Charles Coventry(194) against Bangladesh.

With the help of this score India put up a score of 401 runs infront of South African team, and won the second ODI.South Africa, which lost the first match by a single run were all out on 248 runs.

A Cricket Mountain-Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar created history by slamming the first double hundred in a one day international against South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior today. The master at almost 37 age, who has been ruling the game of cricket for over two decades, has become the first batsman in the history of ODI cricket to hit a double hundred. Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar added another feather to his cap. In this match against South Africa, Sachin has scored 200* (notout) there were 25 fours and 3 sixes. He made this run at a strike rate of 136.05. India scored 401/3.
 He became the highest run-scorer in the history of Test cricket today, eclipsing Brian Lara's record during India's match against Australia. The batsman, accorded demi-god status in his country, required 15 runs to pass Lara's total of 11,953 and he finally got there with a push to third man for three off the bowling of Peter Siddle to send the home supporters into raptures. He was eventually dismissed for 88 as India fought back in the afternoon of the second Test.
