Sachin
His father Ramesh Tendulkar, a
Marathi novelist named him after his favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman.
He was encouraged to play cricket by his elder brother, Ajit Tendulkar. He has 2
more siblings - brother Nitin Tendulkar and sister Savitai Tendulkar. Nitin's
son Rohan Tendulkar born in 1990 is also a cricketer and represents Mumbai in
junior cricket tournaments.
In 1995, Sachin Tendulkar married Anjali
Tendulkar (born 13 feb 1971), the paediatrician daughter of Gujarati
industrialist Anand Mehta. They have two children, Sara (born 12 October 1997)
and Arjun (born 23 September, 2000).
Tendulkar sponsors 200 under-privileged
children, every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO associated with his
mother-in-law, Annaben Mehta. He is reluctant to speak about this, or other
charitable activities, choosing to preserve the sanctity of his personal life
despite the overwhelming media interest in him

Dad's Name : Ramesh Tendulkar

SACHIN THE GREAT
SACHIN TENDULKAR VS BRIAN LARA
Cricketers Views on Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Desmond Haynes
In terms of technique and compactness,
Tendulkar is the best
Viv Richards
He is 99.5 per cent perfect. I'd pay to see
him
David Boon
Technically he stands out as the best because
of his ability to increase the pace at will
Steve Waugh
There is no shame being beaten by such a
great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don.
Barry Richards
Sachin is cricket's God:
Sunil Gavaskar
India's fortune will depend on how many runs
the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing.
Mohinder Amarnath
A complete batsman ? he's the best in the
business.
Jeff Thompson
Sachin is an attacker. He has much more power
than Sunny. He wants to be the one to set the pace. He has to be on top. That's
the buzz about him.
Dennis Lillee
If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my
helmet on. He hits the ball so hard.
Steve Waugh
You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I
reckon.
Shane Warne
I'll be going to bed having nightmares of
Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six.
He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same
class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.
Shane Warne
When it comes to judging the best among these
fabulous band of batsmen, my vote goes to Tendulkar. He has an uncanny ability
to come out on top under different circumstances and under different conditions,
whether it is Test cricket or one-day internationals. And more importantly, he
has done this so young.
Michael Kasprowicz
Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good
ones for fours.
Allan Border
Hell, if he had stayed, even at 11 an over he
would have got it(after India won the Coca-Cola cup in Sharjah).
Greg Chappell
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.
Mark Waugh
It's scary, where the hell do we bowl to him:
Allan Border. Yeah mate, but that's with all great players:
Ian Chappell.
Sachin's better; Lara is more risky outside
the off stump.
Mark Taylor
He's a phenomenon. We have to be switched on
when he plays allow him no boundries, for then he doesn't stop.
Ian Healy
Tendulkar is the most complete batsman I have
stood behind. I saw the hundred in Perth on a bouncy pitch with Hughes,
McDermott and Whitney gunning for him ? he only had 60-odd when No 11 came in.
I've seen him against Warne too.
Ian Chappell
Harder he works, the luckier he gets.
Richie Benaud
He has defined cricket in his fabulous,
impeccable manner. He is to batting what Shane Warne is to bowling.
Mike Coward
Sachin's the best. I've had this view since I
saw him score that hundred in Sydney in 1992. He's the most composed batsman
I've ever seen.
Mark Waugh
The pressure on me is nothing as compared to
Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects
him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him.
Glenn McGrath
I still think Tendulkar is the best batsmen
in the world ahead of Steve Waugh and Lara.
Sir Gary Sobers
He is currently the best batsman in the
world.
Tony Grieg
There's no doubt about it. He is the best.
Geoffrey Boycott
Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or
spin, fast or slow ? nothing is a problem.
Peter Roebuck
Sometime back I had written a piece that said
that Sachin's the master and Lara a genius with his head high up somewhere.
That's it.
Kieth Fletcher
A little genius. Reminds me of Sunny Gavaskar.
Eddie Barlow
He is Sachin Tendulkar. I hope he stays
Sachin Tendulkar. We need a new player, a player in his own way. He has a
technique which is the hallmark of a great player. Everything indicates that he
will be a great player and I am sure he will prove me right. Reminds me of Barry
Richards.
Barry Richards
Destined to be a great.
Paul Strang
What we (Zimbabwe) need is 10 Tendulkars.
Gavaskar
The original little master, Sunil Gavaskar,
had said that the champion cricketer was an example of the perfect
batsman.Gavaskar praised Tendulkar for the stillness of his head, his straight
back-lift, the ease with which he played his shots and their wide range.
Greg Chappell
I'm impressed with Sachin. The hype and
expectations on him is greater than even Bradman faced in his day.
Indian coach
Sachin carries a weight of collective
expectation to the crease that few can comprehend. Bradman would not have had
the weight of expectation that Sachin has on him every time he went out to bat.
Wasim Akram
"Cricketers like Sachin come once in a
lifetime and I am privileged he played in my time"
Brian Lara
Sachin Tendulkar was a peerless batsman with
a lot more to offer. Lara, Test cricket's leading scorer with 11,294 runs,
regarded Tendulkar the best batsman he ever watched despite the prolific success
of Australian captain Ricky Ponting and South African Jacques Kallis. Lara said:
"For me, the best batsman in the world is Sachin Tendulkar. I admire Jacques
Kallis' consistency and Ricky Ponting, with the purple patch he's going though.
Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a
15-year period, it's definitely Sachin."
Steve Waugh
"we won with ten , but lost to one" told
after the sharjah cup finals
Sir Donald Bradman
I saw him playing on television and was
struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw
myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to
play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity
between the two... his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all
seemed to gel.
Greg Chappell
I'd like to see him go out and bat one day
with a stump. I tell you he'd do okay.

The first batsman to score 10,000 runs
in one-day cricket, making the record in the third game of a five-match
series against Australia on the 31st of March 2001. He reached the
landmark when he scored 34 runs in his 266th match and 259th innings.
A genius without a doubt, this little master made his International debut
in ODI’s and Tests at the age of 16 against Pakistan against the fiery
pace of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He then went to England as a part of
the national side, and has not looked back ever since. The name itself
strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers all around the world. Hailed as
the next master-blaster following the legacy of the great West Indian
Vivian Richards, this man has every shot in the book, and can kill any
attack in the world when in full swing. There is nothing this man cannot
do.
