Sachin
Tendulkar
By popular vote, the greatest batsman in the world today, Sachin Tendulkar has the cricketing world at his feet. The adulation he commands world over is unsurpassed, perhaps since the days of Don Bradman, to whom of course he has been compared, by no less than the great man himself. While he may not end with a Test career average of 99.94, there is little doubt that based on his vigorous style of batsmanship and his insatiable appetite for runs and big scores, he is the most complete batsman since Vivian Richards. In many ways though he has surpassed even that outstanding West Indian batsman. When Tendulkar is
on song, there is no more majestic sight in the cricketing world. The spectators
at the stadium are on their feet cheering while all over the world, TV
audiences are glued to the screen. He has scored heavily on all kinds of
wickets the world over, in conditions which lesser mortals have not been
able to master and against bowlers whom other batsmen have found it difficult
to score off. Immensely gifted and blessed with an impeccable technique,
Tendulkar's batting is a dream, combining timing, elegance and power. Mentally
very strong, Tendulkar is best when confronted by a challenge - as he showed
when mowing down Shane Warne in India in 1998. Captain during two short
stints, Tendulkar has made it clear that he would prefer to concentrate
on his batting and indeed, he seems to be getting better with every passing
year. Scoring two double centuries in successive seasons and being the
first to cross the 10,000 run barrier in ODIs is clear proof of this. The
best thing from the fans' point of view - if not the bowler's - is that
the entertainment, courtesy Tendulkar, is still at the intermission stage.
Long may
While his batting
ranks him among the best in the world, he is also a part-time bowler and
has played a crucial role as a leg spinner or a medium pace bowler who
tends to break partnerships. He has more than a hundred wickets in ODIs
and 35 in tests, though his bowling averages are above 40. He continues
to perform well under the massive weight of expectation of hundreds of
millions of cricket followers, in India and around the world, and most
recently was named Player Of The Tournament in the 2003 Cricket World Cup.Incidentally,
Sachin is the first batsman to be declared run out by third umpire in 1992
in South Africa.
Sachin Tendulkar
celebrates after reaching his world-record 35th Test century,
Tendulkar's seventh ton against the visitors saw him surpass former captain and compatriot Sunil Gavaskar's tally of 34 for most number of hundreds in the all-time centurions list. Sourav
Ganguly was batting on 39 at the other end after playing the supporting
role to Tendulkar to perfection.
Tendulkar's
innings helped India seize the initiative after skipper Rahul Dravid, suffering
from illness, made a bold decision to
His
three figure mark came from 177 balls after 277 minutes at the crease,
and contained 13 fours and a six. Tendulkar was somewhat circumspect in
the initial phase of his innings and had to endure a testing spell of reverse
swing bowling

| Tendulkar's new home
Sachin Tendulkar's long-cherished dream of having his own dream home finally seems to have realised. The ace batsman purchased an old villa near Carter Road, Bandra West, in suburban Mumbai. According to reports, Tendulkar purchased Dorab Villa from its owners, the Satra Group, for around Rs 35 crore. "We sold Dorab Villa to Sachin Tendulkar in December," Dr Vijay Satra, brother of managing director Praful Satra, who had purchased the property, told a Mumbai newspaper. Dorab Villa was built in the 1920s and originally occupied by a Parsi family -- the Wardens. It is a one storey structure, measuring around 9,000 square feet, but the property is spread over around 10,000 square feet. Tendulkar spent all of his growing up years at Sahitya Sahawas in Bandra East before shifting to the plush La Mer building in Bandra West in 2001.
