9. Sachin Tendulkar went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School
only after coach Ramakant Achrekar saw his batting potential.
Achrekar was the cricket coach of  Sharadashram Vidyamandir
School. Before enrolling at Shardashram, Tendulkar went to New
England School of Indian Education Society in East Bandra
10. English fast bowler Allan Mulally playing in his debut Test against
India complained that Sachin Tendulkar was batting with a bat
broader than the normal willow. That’s how much Tendulkar had
psyched the bowler with his brilliant batting.
11. Sachin Tendulkar started off with centuries in his debut
matches in the Ranji, Duleep and Irani Trophy. No other domestic
cricketer has been able to break this record till now.
12. Sachin Tendulkar was done in by a sharp bouncer from
Zimbabwe’s Henry Olonga in a league match at Sharjah in 1998. In
the final match against the same opposition, Tendulkar had his
revenge as he smashed the bowler all around the ground and belted
an unbeaten 118 runs.
13. Sachin Tendulkar is a big fan of tennis legend John McEnroe. In
his formative years, McEnroe was Tendulkar’s idol. The young Sachin
pleaded his parents to get a similar headband and wristbands like
McEnroe. Also take one look at his childhood snaps and the McEnroe
styled shock of hair on his head tells everything.
14. Sachin Tendulkar was named after the great musician SD
Burman. Sachin’s father’s, Ramesh Tendulkar was a big fan of SD’s
16. Sachin Tendulkar was gifted a Ferrari 360 Modena by F1
champion Michael Schumacher in 2002. Ferrari presented the car to
Sachin in honour of him equalling Don Bradman’s record of 29 Test
centuries.
17. Sachin Tendulkar spoke to his favourite music star, Mark
Knopfler, the lead guitarist of the rock band, Dire Straits for the very
first time during a programme he was doing for the ESPN network. It
was Sachin’s birthday and it turned out to be a happy surprise for
him.
18. Sachin Tendulkar went to watch the movie Roja in 1995 with a
beard and disguise.  And it all went wrong when his glasses fell off
and the crowd in the cinema hall recognised him.
19. Sachin Tendulkar returned from a four-month tour of Australia
after the 1992 World Cup and immediately turned up to represent
Kirti College in April 1992. That’s some commitment from a cricketer
who was already a superstar by then.
20. Sachin Tendulkar uses a very heavy bat at the crease,
weighing 3.2lbs. Only South Africa's Lance Klusener used a heavier
bat in world cricket.
21. Sachin Tendulkar was without a bat contract until the start of
the 1996 Cricket World Cup. At the end of the tournament a famous
tyre manufacturer sponsored his willow.
22. Sachin Tendulkar was a big bully in the school. Whenever his
friend introduced him to a new kid in the school, Tendulkar would
invariably ask, “Will I be able to beat him?’ He was famous for picking

Ratna, Arjuna Award and Padma Shri by Indian government. He is the
only Indian cricketer to get all of them.

about it? Well, he was the county side’s first overseas professional
ever. He averaged 46.52 with the bat in his stint with the county
team.
26. Sachin Tendulkar's wife Anjali does not eat or drink whenever
the Master is at the crease.

wearing the pads gifted to him by Sunil Gavaskar

I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that
has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been
bowled to the last ball that's going to be. He can play in any era and at any
level. I would say he's 99.5% perfect- Viv Richards on Sachin Tendulkar

Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is
something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something
that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those
who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he
goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their
lives- BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar

He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack

and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat
bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with
utmost ease- Greg Chappell

He has defined cricket in his fabulous, impeccable manner. He is to batting

what Shane Warne is to bowling-Richie Benaud

"There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the
others"- Andy Flower

"Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has
many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
world"- Allan Donald

trying to get him out, you are trying to
impress him. "I want him to walk off
thinking 'that Flintoff, he's all right isn't he?
I feel privileged to have played against
him- Andrew Flintoff
Today, he showed the world why he is considered the best batsman around. Some of the
shots he played were simply amazing. Earlier, opposing teams used to feel that Sachin's
dismissal meant they could win the game. Today, I feel that the Indian players, too, feel
this way- Wasim Akram

You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he
walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just
waves it around like it's a toothpick¬- Brett Lee

I was fielding in the covers when Tendulkar came out to bat in his debut Test at Karachi. I
still remember Waqar Younis was in peak form at that time. Tendulkar tried to drive
Waqar through the covers off his very first ball in Test cricket but was beaten all ends up.
But I walked to captain Imran Khan and told him 'this kid looks very good' and Imran
agreed with me- Abdul Qadir

He has been in form longer than some of our guys have been alive- Daniel Vettori

I have joked before that there is a good chance that I might retire before
Tendulkar- Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the
Lord is watching- From a fan at the SCG

To me he will not just be remembered as a great player and a lovely human being, but as
somebody who tried to learn Bengali for the last 14 years but never managed to do
so!- Sourav Ganguly

Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on
it- Hashim Amla

Sachin was so focused. He never looked like getting out. He was batting with single-
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing us to
breathe the same air as you do- Shahrukh Khan

The archives recall not one single incriminating incident, not one drunken
escapade, not one reported affair, not one spat with a team-mate or
reporter ... As Matthew Parris wondered of Barack Obama in these pages
recently, is he human?- Michael Atherton

The thing I admire most about this man is his poise. The way he moves,
elegantly without ever looking out of place in any condition or company,
suggests his pedigree- Bishan Singh Bedi

Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour. His balance of mind,
shrewd judgment, modesty and, above all, his technical brilliance make him
my all-time hero... You can't get a more complete cricketer than Sachin. He
has everything that a cricketer needs to have- Rahul Dravid

Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you've got Sachin batting
with what looks like a three-metre-wide bat- Michael Hussey

You can never say that he is out of form. He is a volcano waiting to explode
and we hope he doesn't do that against us in the one-dayers- Daryl Tuffey

I think you are at the wrong press conference- Sachin Tendulkar when asked

about retirement

Maybe they all think it's my last tour- Sachin Tendulkar whenever he gets a

standing ovation
He continues to give more than 100 per
cent and his schoolboy-like enthusiasm
for the game is something I envy and
admire. For the team he is the best
available coaching manual- Mahendra
Singh Dhoni

The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his
best knock- ML Jaisimha
I'll see god when I die but till then I'll see Sachin- From a fan in
Sharjah
He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also- Waqar Younis
In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me
with a sort of gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say,'Can you
bowl me another one?'- Adam Hollioake
I have delayed my shoots many times to watch Sachin bat- Amitabh
Bachchan
What I admire about Sachin is his humility, respect for elders and the
passion for the game that he has retained even after so many years
and after achieving so much in cricket. He has not changed at
all- Dilip Vengsarkar
The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with
which he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his
innate humility - all make for a one-in-a-billion individual-Glenn
McGrath
I had to remind Gary Kristen often that he was in the covers to field
against Sachin not to applaud him- Hansie Cronje
I never coached Sachin Tendulkar, I gave him gentle advice when he
asked for it- John Wright
His humbleness and simplicity has helped him to achieve what others
could not. His dedication is one of the main reasons for his
achievements and he is role model to up and coming youngsters. In
The pressure on
me is nothing

Sachin
Tendulkar.

them- Mark
