Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was born on April 24, 2024 in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra. According to The Telegraph, on Nov 15 1989 (at the age of 16 years and 205 days), he made his Test debut in Karachi, coming in at No 6 on the second day’s play to face a stellar attack of Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Imran Khan and Abdul Qadir.
Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific runmaker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known.
He currently holds the record for most hundreds in both Tests and ODIs - remarkable, considering he didn't score his first ODI hundred till his 79th match. Incredibly, he retained a divine enthusiasm for the game till his last match.
