Sachin Tendulkar, Bio.

Born: 24th April 1973
Home: Mumbai, India

There's no doubt about it, Sachin Tendulkar is cricket royalty. The Indian superstar is lauded by many as the greatest batsman to ever step into the crease. Despite his advancing years, "The Little Master" continues to play at the highest level.

Adidas star Tendulkar's achievements over the past two decades are often used by aspiring stars as a barometer to measure themselves against. In March 2012, he made history by becoming the first player to score 100 test centuries after scoring 114 runs against Bangladesh. Tendulkar was also at the heart of India's victorious World Cup campaign in 2011, and featured in the team of the tournament.

His ability to adapt his game according to the opposition and conditions has made him a formidable opponent. And few know this better than Australia. Tendulkar has blasted his way to 20 centuries against them. He also grabbed a double century against South Africa in an ODI back in 2010.

Tendulkar announced his retirement from One Day International matches in 2012 after scoring a record 18,426 run total. He also holds the record for the most ODI appearances having turned out 463 times for India.
