Merits of the little master...


Sachin Ramesh (Marathi: सचिन रमेश तेंडुलकर) (born 24 April 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India), often referred to as the Little Master or the Master Blaster 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 ODI batsman of all time next only to Sir Viv Richards.


Tendulkar is the first player to score 10,000 runs in One-day internationals, and has the most centuries in both Tests and ODIs. He is one of the three batsmen to surpass 11,000 runs in Test cricket, and the first Indian to do so.
Tendulkar has been honoured with the Padma Vibhushan and Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna awards.
