Recent News

Sachin Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973, Bombay [Mumbai], India) is an Indian professional cricket player, considered by many to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time. In 2012, he became the first cricketer to score 100 centuries (100 runs in a single innings) in international play.

Tendulkar was given his first bat when he was 11 years of age. As a 14-year-old, he used it to score 329 out of a world-record stand of 664 in a school match. A year later he scored a century on his first-class debut for Bombay (Mumbai), and at age 16 years 205 days he became India’s youngest Test (international) cricketer, making his debut against Pakistan in Karachi in November 1989. When he was 18 he scored two centuries in Australia (148 in Sydney and 114 in Perth), and in 1994 he scored 179 against the West Indies . In August 1996, at age 23, Tendulkar was made captain of his country’s team.

Although India was defeated in the semifinals of the 1996 World Cup, Tendulkar emerged as the tournament’s top run scorer, with 523 runs. In 1998 he was chosen for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the highest award given to an Indian athlete, for his outstanding performance in the 1997–98 season. India was defeated by Australia in the 1999 World Cup, failing to advance past the round of six, and was soundly defeated by both Australia and South Africa in series later that year. In the 2003 World Cup, however, Tendulkar helped his team advance as far as the finals. Though India was again defeated by Australia, Tendulkar, who averaged 60.2, was named the man of the tournament.

Tendulkar made history in December 2005 when he scored his record-breaking 35th century in Test play against Sri Lanka . The feat was accomplished in a total of 125 Tests and allowed Tendulkar to surpass the prolific Indian run scorer Sunil Gavaskar . In June 2007 Tendulkar reached another major milestone when he became the first player to record 15,000 runs in one-day international (ODI) play, and in November 2011 he became the first batsman to score 15,000 runs in Test play. One month later he scored a historic “double century” in a contest against South Africa, becoming the first man in history to record 200 runs in a single innings of ODI play. He was named the 2010 International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricketer of the Year. In an ODI match against Bangladesh in March 2012, Tendulkar scored his record-setting 100th international century—which included both Test (51 centuries) and ODI (49 centuries) play. He retired from ODI cricket later that year, and in 2013 he ended a six-year stint with the Indian Premier League (as a member of the Mumbai Indians) and retired from Test cricket, ending his playing days with records for the most career international runs (34,357) and Test runs (15,921). Throughout his long career Tendulkar was consistently ranked among the game’s best batsmen. He was often likened to Australia’s Don Bradman in his single-minded dedication to scoring runs and the certainty of his strokeplay off both front and back foot.

In 2012 Tendulkar became a member of the Rajya Sabha , the upper chamber of the Indian parliament—the first active athlete to join that body; he was nominated to the post, and his term ended in 2018. In 2014 he became the first sportsman to receive India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna . Tendulkar was inducted into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame in 2019.

Sachin Tendulkar Biography

Birthday: April 24 , 1973 ( Taurus )

Born In: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

When Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar made his test debut against Pakistan as a 16-year-old, little did the world know that the curly-haired teenager would one day become one of the greatest cricketers of the game. In his homeland, India, Sachin is more than just a popular sportsperson; he is considered an institution in himself. He is not just loved and respected, but revered. Fondly called the ‘God of Cricket’ by his fans, Sachin ruled the game for well over two decades—a very rare feat for a sportsperson. Widely considered to be one of the greatest batsmen ever, he is the only player to have scored 100 international centuries. Born into a middle-class family in Bombay, he started playing cricket while he was still a little boy, and made his international test debut at the age of 16! And thus began the journey of a cricketer who would smash several long-standing records and create new ones. Keeping in view his awesome performance, he was made the captain of the Indian team. Captaincy however did not suit him and he gave up captaincy. In spite of his iconic status, Sachin is known to be a simple and principled man, which further adds to his popularity.

Sachin Tendulkar With His Kit

I used a pretty heavy bat and I was sometimes encouraged to move to a lighter one. Again, I did try but I never felt comfortable, as my whole bat swing depended on that weight. When I was hitting a drive, I needed the weight to generate the power. It was all to do with the timing. To me the bat should be an extension of your arm, and if you’ve reached the stage where it’s become an extension of your arm, why do you need to change?” Some of the bats used by Sachin Tendulkar during his career

Sachin Tendulkar Dismissals

In 1994, when I started opening the batting for India, the strategy used by all the teams was to save wickets. What I tried to do was slightly out of the box. I thought I could go upfront and take the opposition bowlers on. But I had to beg and plead to give me a chance. If I fail, I won’t come after you again.”

• In September 2019, he took his fans down the memory lane by sharing old footage of him practicing on a water-logged pitch. The little master can be seen practicing on a pitch that has standing water and the bowler is using rubber balls, bowling from a short distance.

Love and passion for the game always helps you find new ways to practice, and above all to enjoy what you do. #FlashbackFriday pic.twitter.com/7UHH13fe0Q — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) September 27, 2019

When I was a student, the only thing in my mind was to play for India. My journey started at the age of eleven. I even remember when I went for my first selection trails, I was not selected by the selectors. At that time I was disappointed because I thought I had batted well, but the result was not as per expectation and I was not selected. But after that my focus, commitment and capacity to work hard increased further. If you want to realise your dreams, then short-cuts won’t help.”

If by the end of his career, he does not score a minimum of 15000 runs and 40 Test centuries, I shall personally go and strangle him. 20 years down the line, my hands would not have the same strength and he might still survive, but I think I will get somebody to do that for me. He has got that much talent!”

When I was about to play my last match, I told the board… the BCCI, that these two games are going to be my last but my only request and my wish is that I play my last game in Mumbai so that my mother could come to the stadium and watch. So they graciously agreed to host the last game in Mumbai and that’s the only time she has seen me play live in 24 years.” Sachin Tendulkar’s mother watching the farewell match of Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai

Sachin Tendulkar Biography

Tendulkar was born on 24 April 1973 into a Rajapur Saraswat Brahmin family in Bombay. He made an impact in cricket from a very early age, displaying a prodigious talent. By the age of 15, he had made his first-class debut. He made his test debut against Pakistan, aged only 16.

Sachin Tendulkar has played a key role in Indian test cricket ever since his debut at an early age in 1992. A child cricket prodigy who has lived up to his early promise. He is one of the most decorated players in the history of cricket. After his retirement from the game in 2013, he was awarded Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award – the youngest person to receive this award.

Tendulkar is the only player to score over 30,000 runs in international cricket. He scored a total of 34,357 runs in 664 international cricket matches. He is also the only player to score one hundred international hundreds and the first player to score a double hundred in limited overs cricket.

He has played many flawless innings and led India to many notable victories, not least over arch rivals and the number one test side – Australia in 2008. Standing only 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) Tendulkar has often been called ‘The Little master’ – or even God of Cricket. He has a wonderful technique and can score runs with great fluency and style. He has minimal movement and can play a wide range of shots.

Sometimes Tendulkar has been criticised for making runs against easy opposition and not rising to the big occasion. But, that criticism is not entirely fair and Tendulkar has recently made some key hundreds in the most testing of situations.

Sachin Tendulkar was the first non-Yorkshireman born player to play for the county. It was a key moment for Yorkshire CC. Unfortunately, it was not an unreserved success as his dominant form deserted him.

In India, Sachin Tendulkar is one of the most famous persons in the country. He receives a tremendous amount of adulation and attention. He is admired not just for his cricket, but his image of being a good son of India. He has a modest approach to life, being a quiet family man, and he still visits Indian temples. He is a devotee of the Hindu Guru, Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi. Tendulkar is widely seen as a great role model.

Sachin Tendulkar Facts

• Sachin gets his name from his father’s favorite music director, Sachin Dev Burman.
• Although he is regarded as one of the coolest sportspersons, he was a bully as a young boy and would often pick up fights with newcomers in his school.
• He was inclined towards playing tennis at a young age but in 1984, his older brother Ajit introduced him to cricket in a hope to control his mischievous and bullying habits.
• Ajit introduced Sachin to the famous cricket coach and a club cricketer Ramakant Achrekar but in their first meet, he did not play his best game. Ajit convinced Ramakant that it was because of his self-consciousness and that he would do better if he doesn’t know that he is being observed. Ramakant observed him hiding behind the tree, and this time Sachin played a better game and he was accepted as a trainee.
• It was his coach Ramakant Achrekar who suggested him to shift his school from Indian Education Society’s New English School in Bandra (East) to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) High School at Dadar as the latter had a dominant cricket team.
• During the practice under the guidance of Ramakant Achrekar whenever Sachin felt exhausted, Achrekar would keep a 1 rupee coin on the top of the stumps, and the bowler who could take the wicket used to get the coin while Sachin got to keep the coin if he managed the whole session without getting stumped. He has won overall 13 coins and he now considers them as his most prized possessions.
• He became known for his game at the mere age of 14 and went on to play for John Bright Cricket Club in Bombay’s premier club cricket tournament, the Kanga League and later was selected to play for the Cricket Club of India .

• In the 1988 season, while playing school level cricket, he went on to score a century in every innings he played and created a remarkable 664-run partnership with his childhood friend and another former international Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli . The pair was so destructive that the opposition was unwilling to play till the end as Sachin alone scored 326 runs in just 1 inning and scored more than 1000 runs in the tournament. This created a record partnership in any form of cricket but was later broken by 2 under-13 batsmen in 2006.
• One of his biggest dreams was to play alongside his cricket idol Sunil Gavaskar which remained unfulfilled as Gavaskar retired after the 1987 Cricket World Cup.

Sachin Tendulkar Inclusion In Domestic Cricket

Sachin Tendulkar’s career began with the  Ranji Trophy  when he was picked for  Bombay  at 14. He led Mumbai in the  1995-96 Irani Cup  match against the rest of India. He scored his first double century (204*) for Mumbai in a 1998 match at Brabourne Stadium against an Australian team that was on a visit. He is the only player to hit a century on his debut in all three of his domestic first-class championships (the Ranji, Irani, and Duleep Trophies). He also scored a double century in an innings of 233* against Tamil Nadu in the 2000 Ranji Trophy semifinals, which he considers among his finest ever.

When he had been seen successfully defending himself in the net at Wankhede Stadium against India’s top bowler of that time, he was selected to play for the national squad. Sir Donald Bradman reportedly invited Sachin to his birthday celebration once and likened Sachin to himself.

Sachin International Debut

Raj Singh Dungarpur was in charge of selecting Sachin Tendulkar for the Indian cricket team for the 1989 tour of Pakistan. At 16, he played his first test series in November 1989 in Karachi, Pakistan. He scored 15 runs in his debut match and was knocked out by Waqar Younis, making his debut. He was hit on the nose by a bouncer bowl from Younis Khan in the fourth test match against Pakistan, and he was advised to quit the match, but he continued to play.

Sachin got 148 runs in the third test against Australia during the 1991-92 tour, making him the youngest player to achieve a century against Australia. He scored 114 in the last test match held in Perth, Australia. When asked about his favorite innings, Sachin recalls this one in Perth because the ground was fast and bouncy, and Australia’s top bowlers bowled him at that time. Sachin hit his first ODI century on September 9, 1994, versus Australia, although it took 78 ODIs.

On December 5, 2012, Tendulkar became the first player in cricket history to reach 34,000 run marks, including runs he got in all forms of cricket. He had featured in 657 international cricket matches. On March 16, 2012, against Bangladesh in Asia Cup, he scored his long-awaited 100th century. On December 23, 2012, Sachin Tendulkar retired from one-day international cricket. In addition, he has stated that he would not play in T20 Internationals.

Sachin Tendulkar Retirement

Tendulkar retired from one-day international cricket on December 23, 2012, following a string of poor performances during the series against England in 2012. However, he said he would still be eligible for representation in the sport’s Test format. Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly was surprised at Tendulkar’s decision to retire from One Day International cricket. He stated that Tendulkar might have still played in the next series against Pakistan.

He declared he would never play another Twenty20 International after being on the pitch in one against South Africa in 2006. After Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on May 26 to win the 2013 Indian Premier League, he declared retirement. After competing for Mumbai Indians in the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 in India from September to October 2013, he announced his retirement from Twenty20 and limited-overs cricket.

Some of the Notable Cricket Teams Sachin Played For

• Indian Cricket Team
• Yorkshire Cricket Team
• Mumbai Indians
• A. C. C. Asian XI
• Mumbai Domestic Cricket Team

Sachin Tendulkar Wife

Sachin met  Anjali  at the Mumbai Airport for the first time. At that time, he was only 17 years old, and they married 5 years later. His wife, Anjali, once said that she went to Tendulkar’s house for the first time as a reporter. They dated for some time and finally married on  May 24, 1995.  Anjali Tendulkar is a doctor whose sacrifices have always been appreciated by Sachin. He credits Anjali for her charitable efforts with her mother’s NGO. Anjali left her professional job in 1999 to care for her two children while Sachin was away playing international cricket. Sachin’s wife is always standing with him through good and bad, supporting and respecting his demands and the load on his shoulders.

Sachin Tendulkar Kids

Sara  and  Arjun Tendulkar  are the children of Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar. His only daughter Sara Tendulkar was born on October 12, 1997, and his only son Arjun Tendulkar was born on September 24, 1999.

Arjun Tendulkar, the younger brother, aspires to be a cricketer. However, unlike Tendulkar, he measures taller than 6 feet and is on the way to making his career as a bowler. Arjun is a left-arm bowler and batsman. He has bowled to international players as a netballer at various locations worldwide. In the Cooch Behar Trophy 2017 18, he took 19 wickets in five matches for Mumbai Under-19.

Controversies In Sachin’s Life

Without question, Sachin Tendulkar is among the game’s masters with an extraordinary career that many cricketers can only dream of. However, he is associated with numerous significant controversies also, which are listed below:

1. Accused of Ball-Tampering

During a Test series between India and South Africa in 2001, match official Mike Denness charged Sachin Tendulkar of ball-tampering after the Indian player was seen tinkering on the seam in a video recorded by the cameraman. Tendulkar was only clearing the seam, according to a lengthy investigation. His sole mistake was not informing the umpires before the incident. And in return, he was okay with 75 percent of the match fee.

2. Selling The Ferrari Gifted To Him

Tendulkar was gifted with a Ferrari 360 Modena by Formula One star Michael Schumacher in 2001. The gift led to debates since the government intended to exclude the cricketer from paying the import fee of 120 percent when the master blaster decided to sell his gifted car to Surat-based businessman Jayesh Desai in 2011 and thus got the controversies.

3. Declaring At 194*

Sachin Tendulkar was in excellent form during a 2004 Test match between India and Pakistan at Multan, batting at 194* on Day 2. He was getting closer to a double century and felt he had one more left to complete the feat. However, India’s innings were declared by Rahul Dravid, as he was the captain at the time, without leaving his teammate to achieve the 200-run milestone.

4. ‘Monkeygate’ Scandal

The issue that engulfed the Indian legendary and brought him a lot of criticism, particularly from Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist, was probably the largest. When Harbhajan Singh was accused of racially assaulting Andrew Symonds during a 2008 Test match, Tendulkar adopted a neutral attitude, stating that he didn’t hear anything. Eventually, though, he changed his mind. Then he claims that he spotted Singh and Symonds arguing and that Harbhajan shouted “Teri ma ki,” not “monkey.”

• When he scored his 51st hundred, which was against South Africa at Cape Town, he became the first overseas batsman to have scored 5 centuries on South African soil. The previous highest was 4 Test centuries by Wally Hammond of England and Neil Harvey of Australia.
• Out of his 51 centuries, 22 have been scored at home and 29 have been scored overseas. His record of 29 overseas Test hundreds is a world record, not to mention an indication of his consistency and his spectacular performance away from home.
• Another interesting statistic (and of course, another Sachin Tendulkar record!) is that he has scored 12 hundreds after the age of 35. Graham Gooch of England remains the only other player to have done so.
• Sachin, besides playing the most Test matches ever, is also the only player in the world to have played in 200 Test matches.

Other Records

• Till date, Sachin Tendulkar remains the only player in the world to have scored 5 Test centuries before the age of 20.
• He is the leading run scorer in the history of World Cup Cricket. Recently, in the 2011 edition, Sachin achieved yet another amazing record – that of scoring 2,000 runs in all World Cup matches. He is now the only batsman in the world to have scored 2,000+ runs in World Cup matches.
• He also holds the record for the most number of runs in a single World Cup event (673 runs in the 2003 World Cup).
• Sachin Tendulkar is the only cricketer to have achieved the unique double of scoring 15,000+ ODI runs and taking 150+ ODI wickets.
• He is the first batsman to score 50 international centuries (Test + ODI).
• First batsman to score 60 international centuries (Test + ODI).
• The only batsman to score 70 international centuries (Test + ODI).
• Sachin has scored a whopping 100 international hundreds, and reached this much-awaited, mind-boggling milestone on 16th March, 2012.
• He is the only player to have scored 30,000 international runs (Tests and ODIs combined).
• On most occasions, Sachin Tendulkar’s name finds mention in the record books for an endless amount of good reasons. However, there also exist a couple of reasons which the maestro would not be particularly proud of. A lesser-known Sachin Tendulkar record (which by the way, also happens to be a world record), is that he happens to be the batsman who has been dismissed the most number of times while in the nineties. He has fallen prey to the nervous nineties on 27 occasions (17 times in ODIs and 10 times in Tests).
• Another unique record is that he is the only player to have scored a hundred on his Ranji Trophy debut, Duleep Trophy debut, as well as his Irani Trophy debut (all three being premier domestic cricket tournaments in India).
• During the course of his magnificent innings of 120 against England at Bangalore on 27th Feb, 2011, he scored his 5th hundred in World Cups, and reached yet another milestone; that of having scored the most number of hundreds in World Cup cricket. Later in the tournament, he scored another scintillating ton against the South Africans, and now has 6 World Cup hundreds to his name. Ricky Ponting who began the tournament with 4 World Cup hundreds (and scored another one against India in the Quarter-Finals) is in second place.
• As far as 50+ scores are concerned, Sachin leads the pack by a long, long margin. In World Cup matches, he has crossed the 50-run mark on 21 occasions (this includes his 6 World Cup centuries). Ricky Ponting is in second place with eleven 50+ scores (inclusive of his 5 World Cup centuries), while Herschelle Gibbs, with ten 50+ scores is in third place (2 World Cup centuries).
• After combining Test, ODI, as well as T20 batting records and statistics, it comes as no surprise to see that Sachin has hit the most boundaries in international cricket. Second-placed is West Indian Brian Lara, with Ricky Ponting in third.
• He holds the record for the most Man of the Match and Man of the Series awards in international cricket (all three forms combined). Till date, he has won the MoM award 76 times (14 times in Tests, 62 times in ODIs) and the MoS award 20 times (5 times in Tests, 15 times in ODIs). Both are world records.
• He, along with Sourav Ganguly, has been involved in 38 hundred-plus partnerships in international cricket (all three forms combined). This is a world record. The 12,400 runs scored by this pair is also a world record. (Incidentally, the pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have also put on 29 century stands, which presently places them at number 3 on the list).
• Between 25th April 1990 and 24th April 1998, Sachin Tendulkar represented India in a total of 239 matches (54 Tests and 185 ODIs) without missing a single game. Till date, this remains a world record for the most number of consecutive matches for a team.

Throughout the long history of cricket, one name stands out for its unmatched talent and devotion: Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Tendulkar was born in Mumbai, India, on April 24, 1973. His journey in cricket is a story of passion, tenacity, and records that could endure forever. Let’s have a look at the journey of cricket legend, Sachin Tendulkar and his career as a “Little Master”.

He is considered by many to be among the best batters in cricket history.  With almost 18000 and 15000 runs in ODI and Test cricket, respectively, he is the all-time top run scorer in both formats and is hailed as the most prolific batsman in history. In terms of Player of the Match accolades in international cricket, he also owns the record. Tendulkar served as a Rajya Sabha member by nomination from 2012 to 2018.

Family background and Early life:

In Dadar, Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar was born into a middle-class family. His mother Rajni was employed in the insurance sector, while his father Ramesh Tendulkar was a well-known Marathi novelist. Ajit, Sachin’s older brother, was instrumental in determining in young prodigy’s path in cricket. At a young age, Ajit identified Sachin’s exceptional talent and introduced him to the game.

Sachin attended Sharadashram Vidyamandir, a school renowned for its concentration on sports, juggling academics and cricket. Crickets knew he was a talented player from an early age because he was reported to have scored hundreds of runs in school contests. Sachin demonstrated that he was not just a brilliant batsman but also a conscientious student by maintaining his concentration on his studies despite his obvious aptitude with the bat.

Sachin Tendulkar’s Wife and Children:

Sachin Tendulkar wed pediatrician Anjali Mehta in 1995. Anjali was returning from her studies in England when the couple first met at Mumbai International Airport. Anjali, who comes from an industrialist family, balanced Sachin’s life perfectly and supported him during his career.

The Tendulkar family expanded with the arrival of their daughter Sara in 1997 and son Arjun in 1999.  Since then, Arjun Tendulkar has focused on his cricket career as well, displaying his left-arm pace bowling abilities. Arjun seems to be carrying on the family cricketing tradition, as he shows promise and a strong will to succeed in the game.

Cricket Career:

When Sachin Tendulkar was sixteen years old, he played his first international match for India against Pakistan in 1989. His unwavering dedication to the game and unquenchable thirst for runs contributed to his quick ascent. As the only batsman with 100 international hundreds, the first player to reach 10.000 runs in One-day internationals, and the top run-scorer in both test and ODI cricket at the time of his retirement, Sachin’s batting statistics bear witness to his brilliance.

Tendulkar has had an incredible amount of success in the game despite many highs and lows. His versatility in handling various formats and circumstances won him respect from people all over the world. Beyond the cricket pitch, Sachin’s influence was felt across the country as a national hero who encouraged millions of others to follow their passions with honesty and perseverance.

Sachin Tendulkar, the most productive run-maker of all time, was the most remarkable cricket icon ever. He was also the complete batter of his day. His batting was centered on the most fundamental ideas: perfect balance, the economy of movement, accuracy in producing strokes, and anticipation, an intangible trait that only great batters possess.

Sachin Tendulkar Biography

Jump ahead to:

Sachin Tendulkar was born at Nirmal nursing home in Dadar, Bombay, on 24 April 1973 to a Maharashtrian family. His father, Ramesh Tendulkar , was a well-known Marathi novelist & poet , and his mother Rajni worked in the insurance industry, Ramesh Tendulkar named his imaginary child after his favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman . Tendulkar spent his early years in Sahitya Saha was a cooperative housing society in Bandra , he was introduced to cricket at his young age of 11 in 1984 by his elder brother Ajit Tendulkar. Who introduces him to Ramakant Achrekar , a famous cricket coach and a reputed club cricketer at Shivaji Park.

When Sachin could not give him, but at his first meeting with Achrekar , it was a big blow but was not over yet. Ajit requested the coach not to observe Tendulkar but to watch him while hiding behind a tree. This time the legendary journey had taken off Sachin played his natural game and was accepted at Achrekar’s academy, Achrekar was impressed with Tendulkar’s talent and so advised him to shift his schooling to Sharada Arsham vidya mandir high school which had dominant cricket team and had produced many notable cricketers now. He was coached under the guidance of Acherekar at Shivaji park in morning & evening Tendulkar would practice for hours in the nets if he became exhausted, Acherekar would put a one-rupee coin on the top of the stumps, and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar would be the winner of that coin and if Tendulkar played the whole session without sitting dismissed the coin was given to Sachin. The lighting of a star had begun as Sachin had won the amount 13 coins and considered it as one of meet valuable.

The story would be totally different if Dennis Lilee , the Australian fast bowler , was unimpressed when Sachin in 1987 at the age of 14 joined the MRF pace foundation to train as a fast bowler and suggested Sachin to focus on his batting instead. Once in the same year, he could not achieve the Bombay cricket association best junior cricket award but instead was consoled not too disheartened by Sunil Gavaskar , the former Indian batsman who gave him a pair of his own ultra-lite pads. It was only twenty years later that Tendulkar surpassed the Gavaskar’s world record of 34 test centuries. Tendulkar says Gavaskar consolidation 20 years ago was the greatest source of encouragement for him.

One of the inning which attracted every eye on Tendulkar was against ST. xavier’s high school in 1988 when he and his teammate Vinod Kambli were involved in an unbroken 664 run partnership in a lord Harrish shield intern school game .

And we know about the rest of his International carrier. It can be imagined by his mountainous records, such as. The first man to complete his hundredth hundred . The most runs in Odissa tests. The man with the highest number to complete a double century in ODI. It’s much and more else.

Introduction- Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was born on 24 April 1973 at Nirmal Nursing Home in Dadar, Bombay into a Maharashtrian Rajapur Saraswat Brahmin family. His father, Ramesh Tendulkar worked as a professor at Kirti College and was also a popular Marathi novelist and poet while his mother Rajni Tendulkar worked for an insurance company. Sachin Tendulkar was born to the second wife of Ramesh Tendulkar, Rajni Tendulkar and has two elder half-brothers Nitin Tendulkar and Ajit Tendulkar and an elder half-sister Savita. Ramesh Tendulkar named Sachin Tendulkar after his favourite music director and singer, Sachin Dev Burman. Even as Sachin Tendulkar’s father was a writer, he never forced him to become a writer or to pick up the cricket bat. He gave him the full freedom to follow his passion of becoming a cricketer and play for India. When Sachin Tendulkar was five or six years old, he used to enjoy holding a cricket bat and swinging it randomly and showed a great passion for playing tennis and cricket. A naughty kid- Now, the world knows him as a gentleman with a calm and composed nature but in his childhood, he was a naughty kid and a bully. At school, the mischievous young Sachin Tendulkar used to fight with other kids and bully them. Also, in his childhood he was a very difficult child to manage. His elder brother, Ajit Tendulkar was fed up with the mischief of Sachin, so in 1984, in the summer holidays, he decided that Sachin Tendulkar must go on the field and spend all his energy on playing cricket rather than in doing mischiefs. When Sachin Tendulkar was 11 years old, Ajit Tendulkar took him to Ramakant Vitthal Achrekar, a famous cricket coach in Mumbai and this started a new chapter in his life. Although he loved cricket, he had no prior experience in playing the seasoned ball cricket, so Sachin Tendulkar did not perform his level best in front of Ramakant Achrekar. As the coach was standing right behind the net observing his game, this pressured him to bat well and as a result of tension, he could not play well. Because of this Ramakant Achrekar rejected Sachin Tendulkar into his academy. As he was young at that time, the coach politely told his brother to give Sachin Tendulkar six more months to work on his game and then to bring him to the academy. The second chance- Ajit Tendulkar realised that he was unable to play well because he became self-conscious in the presence of the coach. Luckily, Ajit Tendulkar informed Ramakant Achrekar and told him that Sachin Tendulkar can bat better than this and requested him to give another chance to Sachin. Thankfully, he agreed to this and hid behind a tree which was 50 meters away to observe Sachin Tendulkar’s batting. This time he noticed that the coach was not observing his game, so he made the connection and played all his shots and hit most of the deliveries. Ramakant Achrekar was astonished by the performance of Sachin Tendulkar. Later, he accepted him into Ramakant Achrekar’s academy. And the cricket career of the 11 year old Sachin Tendulkar started from here. Being comfortable really helps- As the young Sachin Tendulkar used to play with his elder brother’s bat, he found it difficult to get hold of Ajit’s full-size bat with his small hands and so, he developed the habit of handling the bat at the bottom of the handle. But Ramakant Achrekar wanted to change this habit because he thought that Sachin Tendulkar cannot play well by handling the bat like this. So, he advised him to hold the bat further up but he could not play well as he was not comfortable with this change. Sachin Tendulkar also experimented by playing with the lighter bats but unfortunately, these changes did not go well with him and so, he resumed batting by holding  at the bottom of the heavy bat’s handle. His father, Ramesh Tendulkar encouraged Sachin Tendulkar to give his best in cricket. In his initial days, sometimes he used to feel like bunking the practise sessions and play tennis or soccer or hockey with his friends but his brother and coach did not allow him to bunk the practise sessions. Later, all these sessions and the hours of cricket practise helped Sachin Tendulkar to a great extent. Shifting the school- Initially, Sachin Tendulkar studied at the Indian Education Society’s New English School but later on the suggestion of Ramakant Achrekar, he shifted to Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School. Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School provided good sport facilities, good environment for playing cricket and also had a very commanding cricket team. This school is credited with providing many outstanding cricketers like Vinod Kambli, Ajit Agarkar, Atul Ranade, Praveen Amre, etc. Here, Sachin Tendulkar played cricket with the professional cricket team. During the morning and evening times, under the supervision of Ramakant Achrekar, he practised cricket for hours in nets in Shivaji Park. And during that time, Sachin Tendulkar used to hit the ball harder than most of the senior players on the ground. He loved to practice cricket for long hours and would continue practising till the night and his coach had to actually pull him out of the nets because Sachin Tendulkar wouldn’t stop practising even after it became dark. After completing the training sessions, all the school friends would get together to devour vada pav (Sachin Tendulkar’s favourite dish) and Sachin relishes this memory. Earning his most prized possessions- Whenever Sachin Tendulkar used to get tired after practising, his coach used to place a one-rupee coin on the stumps and used to challenge the bowlers to win the coin by dismissing him. And if the bowlers were unable to dismiss him for the whole session, he was given that coin. Even today, Sachin Tendulkar treasures the thirteen coins which he earned and considers them as his greatest prize. During that time, his exceptional performance made him very famous in his school and in local cricket circles and many people were confident that he would grow up into a great cricketer. Sachin Tendulkar shifted to his aunt’s house located near Shivaji Park because he did not want to waste his time in commuting between his home and Shivaji Park. He was a very energetic child and even after practising for long hours on the field, he used to play cricket in his aunt’s home. Here, Sachin Tendulkar would take a golf ball and alter its shape with a blade and make his aunt chuck balls at him. After hitting the floor, the golf ball would change its direction and this practise taught him to play back foot defence with soft hands and also helped him to play on his toes. As Sachin Tendulkar was short, he played on his toes throughout his career. In addition to playing for his school team, he also started representing and playing for the well-known clubs of Bombay like John Bright Cricket Club and Cricket Club of India (CCI). Focusing on his greatest strength- In 1987, at the age of 14, Sachin Tendulkar wanted to train his fast bowling skills and become an all-rounder. So, he left for the MRF Pace Foundation at Chennai to receive fast bowling training from Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee. Dennis Lillee is regarded as the greatest fast bowler of his generation and he holds the world record of 355 Test wickets. After observing Sachin Tendulkar’s excellent batting skills, he advised him to stick to batting. Thankfully, he agreed to him and started focusing mainly on batting rather than on bowling. Dennis Lillee also gave this same advice to another youngster Sourav Ganguly. Later, Sachin Tendulkar re-joined Ramakant Achrekar to better his batting techniques. A significant gesture- On 20 January 1987, he played in an exhibition game held by the Mumbai Cricket Association in between India and Pakistan at Brabourne Stadium in Bombay. In this game, the 14 year old Sachin Tendulkar did not receive Best junior cricket award and was saddened by this. During that time, Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian cricketer gifted him his pair of ultra-light pads to increase the morale of the disheartened Sachin Tendulkar and also comforted him and encouraged him to practise even more. This gesture played a pivotal role in encouraging him. In the 1987 Cricket World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar also served as a ball boy during the semi-final match held between India and England. The flood of centuries- The performance of Sachin Tendulkar greatly improved by immense hard work and long hours of practise. In 1988, when he was just a school student, he scored a century in every match he played. In the same year, in an inter-school game, Sachin Tendulkar and his friend Vinod Kambli created a world record by scoring a 664-run partnership. In this match, Sachin Tendulkar scored 326 runs (not out) and thanks to this mammoth score, the bowlers of the opposite team refused to continue the match. This accomplishment brought him into limelight. In this tournament, Sachin Tendulkar scored more than 1000 runs and this performance helped him to represent Bombay in the Ranji Trophy held on 14 November 1987. But unfortunately, he could not secure a place in the final eleven and he was only utilised as a replacement fielder. Debuting into the first-class cricket- On 11 December 1988, at the age of 15, Sachin Tendulkar debuted into first-class cricket and represented Bombay. He completely utilised this golden opportunity and scored a century (not out) in his first Ranji match against the Gujarat team. He also stood as the Bombay’s highest run-scorer in the 1988–89 Ranji Trophy season. Later, Sachin Tendulkar got selected to play for the Duleep Trophy and this time also, he scored a century in his Duleep Trophy debut match. He also scored a century in his debut Irani trophy tournament and in this match; he played for the Rest of India against Delhi. Sachin Tendulkar is the only cricketer to score a century on debut in all three top-tier championships which include the Ranji, Irani, and Duleep Trophies. Towards the end of his school cricket career, he started playing first class cricket and in a season, he only got once out and scored an average of 1025 runs. Getting selected into the Indian national cricket team- Sachin Tendulkar’s numerous records caught the attention of the selectors and at the age of 16, he got selected into the Indian national cricket team. Initially, the Indian selection committee wanted to select him for the West Indies tour but later this plan was dropped because the selectors believed that the 16 year old Sachin Tendulkar cannot withstand the forceful fast bowlers of West Indies. Later, in 1989, he was selected for the Pakistan tour by Raj Singh Dungarpur, a selector of the national cricket team. Becoming fearless- In November, 1989, at the age of 16 years, Sachin Tendulkar made his test debut against Pakistan in Karachi. In the first match of this series, he faced the bowling of Waqar Younis and scored 15 runs. As the first three matches were drawn between India and Pakistan, Imran Khan was very determined to win the fourth (last) Test match. During that time, Pakistan had world-class bowlers like Imran Khan and Wasim Akram. In the final test match held at Sialkot, many Indian star batsmen like Krishmachari Srikanth, Sanjay Manjrekar, Azarhuddin and Ravi Shastri got ousted and reached the pavilion because they were unable to withstand the attack of the Pakistani pace bowlers. Also there was a large amount of grass on the pitch and many Indian batsmen opined that it was the fastest pitch they had ever seen in their lives. The probability of India losing the match was high, so the Indian team wanted to at least draw the match and did not want to get all out. During that time, India’s score was 34-4 and many people were sure that India would lose the match but during that time, the 16 year old Sachin Tendulkar came to bat. This match was the fourth test match of his career. Many people thought that this teenager might not play well as most of the senior Indian batsmen already got ousted. Getting injured- In the bowling of Waqar Younis, Sachin Tendulkar managed to play the first two balls well. But he encountered the third ball at a speed of 150 km per hour and this ball rose higher than expected and hit his flap of the helmet, got deflected and then hit his nose. Sachin Tendulkar’s T-Shirt got drenched with blood and he fell down to the ground. He realised that he broke his nose and later, everyone gathered around him and Javed Miandad, a Pakistani player told him to abandon batting and go to the hospital. A physiotherapist came running to the ground and dressed Sachin Tendulkar and helped him to stand up and then requested him to return to the pavilion. But he was well aware that the Pakistan team with its wonderful bowling attack would dominate the game if he abandoned the match. At that time, Sachin Tendulkar feebly uttered two words, main khelega (I’ll play) and his bravery stunned the whole world. This incident was a make or break situation for him because after getting hit on the nose, he had two options, either to develop fear of the seasoned ball or to become fearless. Fortunately, Sachin Tendulkar chose to become fearless. So, he continued batting shortly after the physiotherapist applied bandage around his eyes and nose. Prior to this, Sachin Tendulkar’s nose was injured a couple of times and so, this injury couldn’t scare him. Also, while practising, his coach taught him to be fearless. Waqar Younis again bowled at Sachin Tendulkar with a great speed but this time he moulded that ball into a boundary. The audience celebrated his surprising comeback with claps. Gaining a moral victory- By observing the 16 year old Sachin Tendulkar fearlessly tackling the world class Pakistan bowlers, Navjot Singh Sidhu regained the confidence and he formed a great partnership with him. Also, Sachin Tendulkar came to Navjot Singh Sidhu at the non-striking end and motivated him to fight (play well). Despite getting injured, he played for another four hours and in this match, Sachin Tendulkar scored 57 runs (not out) in 135 balls (in 22 overs) and received praise from the Pakistan pacers. In this match, Navjot Singh Sidhu scored 97 runs (not out). This helped India to draw the series and gain a moral victory over Pakistan. This incident proved that great players like Sachin Tendulkar are born only when talent combines with the right attitude This teaches us a great lesson that we must never get distracted from our goals even after facing obstacles and like Sachin Tendulkar we must also say I’ll perform in the times of hardships. His confidence helped him to create many world records and become the god of the cricket. Later, in a 20-over exhibition game held in Peshawar Sachin Tendulkar played extremely well and scored 53 runs off 18 balls. In this match, in an over he scored four sixes and one four off Abdul Qadir, who was considered as the best leg spinner of that time. This excellent performance got Sachin Tendulkar selected for One Day Internationals and at the age of 16, he became the youngest player to debut for India in both Tests and ODIs. Becoming a world class cricketer- From 1991, Sachin Tendulkar became known as a world class cricketer after he played exceptionally well in the Test matches held in Australia. He scored a whopping 148 (not out) in the third Test match held at Sydney and this made him the youngest batsman to make a century in Australia. On 24 May 1995, Sachin Tendulkar married Anjali Mehta, (now Anjali Tendulkar) works as a paediatrician and is six years older than him. This couple is blessed with a daughter Sara Tendulkar (born on 12 October 1997) and a son Arjun Tendulkar (born on 24 September 1999). Later, Arjun Tendulkar followed his father’s footsteps and became a cricketer. Sachin Tendulkar scored the most number of runs in both 1996 Cricket World Cup (523 runs) and 2003 Cricket World Cup (673 runs). In 1998, he scored three consecutive centuries against Australia. Later, in an interview, Shane Warne, a legendary bowler of Australia, said that he used to get nightmares about Sachin Tendulkar scoring boundaries. Losing his father- Unfortunately, on 19 May 1999, Ramesh Tendulkar passed away and during that time, Sachin Tendulkar was playing in the midst of the 1999 Cricket World Cup. So, he returned to India to attend the last rituals of his father. Later, Sachin Tendulkar returned to participate in the World Cup and in a match against Kenya, he scored 140 runs (not out) in 101 balls and dedicated this to his beloved father. This showcases his commitment. Sachin Tendulkar was made the captain of the Indian cricket team but as a captain, he could not perform well and so, he resigned from the role of captaincy. In 2000, Sourav Ganguly succeeded him as the captain of the Indian cricket team. In the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar scored 673 runs in 11 matches and this won him the Man of the Tournament award. Although India went to the finals with his help, India lost to Australia. On 10 December 2005, in a match against Sri Lanka, Sachin Tendulkar scored his 35th Test century and thus broke Sunil Gavaskar’s record of 34 Test centuries. In the 2007 World Cup, he displayed poor form and Ian Chappell, a former cricketer of Australia opined that Sachin Tendulkar should retire from cricket. Thankfully, he regained his old form and in the following Test series against Bangladesh, he played well and got selected as the Man of the Series and this made it clear that this is not the right time for him to retire. On 24 February 2010, Sachin Tendulkar scored a mammoth double century (not out and includes 25 fours and 3 sixes) by facing just 147 balls in an ODI against South Africa and became the first batsman in the world to score a double century in ODI cricket.  He holds the record for scoring the most centuries in international cricket. Helping India to win the World Cup- Sachin Tendulkar was India’s top run-scorer in the 2011 World Cup tournament and played a pivotal role in helping India to win the 2011 World Cup. Upon winning the 2011 World Cup, he became emotional and stated this as the proudest moment of his life. On 16 March 2012, Sachin Tendulkar scored his 100th international century against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup. He is the only cricketer to score 100 international centuries (consists of 51 test centuries and 49 ODI centuries) and this record is still unbroken. Sachin Tendulkar also holds the record for playing the most number of One Day International cricket matches. He is the highest run scorer ( 34357 runs in entire career) and is also the highest boundary scorer in cricket ( 2211 boundaries in entire career). In his cricket career, Sachin Tendulkar played 664 international cricket matches and scored 34,357 runs. From 2008 until 2013, he played in IPL (Indian Premier League) for his home team, Mumbai Indians. Sachin Tendulkar is a big fan of tennis and his favourite tennis player is Roger Federer. His favourite cricketers are Jonty Rhodes (a fielder), Sunil Gavaskar and Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards (batsmen). Apart from being a great cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar is also a kind-hearted person and every year he sponsors 200 disadvantaged children through Apnalaya, a non-governmental organization. Sachin Tendulkar is the brand ambassador of many brands like Boost, ESPN Star Sports, BMW India, etc. Getting retired- On 23 December 2012, Sachin Tendulkar retired from the One Day Internationals (ODIs). On November 16, 2013, he played his last test match in Wankhede Stadium, his home ground and retired from all forms of cricket after playing international cricket for 24 years. India won this test match against West Indies and gave Sachin Tendulkar an emotional farewell.

You should believe that you are uniquely talented and you must work on realising (identifying) your talents. Also, you must improve yourself by trying new things and should work with discipline. One cannot attain success without discipline and even if someone achieves success without discipline, that success won’t last long. You must cultivate the habit of thinking ahead of time as this helps in planning your future. By doing this, you can mould your life accordingly. You should also mentally prepare for the upcoming obstacles as this will help you to face the obstacles more efficiently. Chase your dreams- First of all, you should dream big and have the courage to chase your dreams. Only with persistence and patience your dreams will come true. Sachin Tendulkar chased his dream of winning a world cup for India and he realised it after 21 long years. Many of us try to achieve our dreams but after trying only for some time, we find excuses and eventually give up on our dreams. In many cases, to attain our dreams, it requires just a little more effort and time but due to the lack of patience, we don’t end up taking the success. So, it is important to be prepared to work harder than initially anticipated. Be passionate towards your work- When you are passionate towards your work, the time flies away because you don’t look at your watch. And you will work until you are satisfied with your work or you get tired. To become successful, working hard and gaining work satisfaction are equally important. Others can only notice your hard work but not your satisfaction, only you can know from within whether or not you are satisfied from your work. Sachin Tendulkar considers himself very lucky because he turned his passion of playing cricket into his profession. Tackle the bigger problems first- When you tackle the bigger problems first, your work gets easier and you will gain confidence. Sachin Tendulkar always wanted the better of the best bowlers of the opposite team like Waqar Younis and Shane Warne to bowl at him and he targeted them first. He used to feel confident by subjugating the fastest and the quickest bowlers and this helped him in winning half the battle. This made the other bowlers lose their confidence and be less effective. This great quality immensely helped Sachin Tendulkar and his team in winning the matches. Be confident- In a match against Pakistan, even when Sachin Tendulkar’s nose broke and started bleeding, he did not stop playing because he was confident in himself that he could play. You become confident and fearless only if you are confident of your ability and preparation. Be grounded- It is good to enjoy and celebrate your success but you should not get carried away by the success and not stop planning for the future. Sachin Tendulkar considers himself very lucky and always maintained the perfect balance between the excitement of success and the disappointment of failures. He took great care to not get carried away by the success. Even when Sachin Tendulkar succeeded in school cricket, he just offered a box of sweets to god to thank god for the opportunities and avoided any extravagant celebrations. Develop a good character and be a good person- When Sachin Tendulkar first realised his dream of playing for India, his father took him aside and asked about his future plans. At that time, he wanted to continue playing for India and his father said that nothing in life will be permanent and he might play cricket for 15 to 20 years. So, he urged Sachin Tendulkar to not only be a good cricketer but also a good person, as he wished him to be remembered by the people not only as a good cricketer but also a person with a good character. This signifies the need for developing a good character because only a good character remains with a person till his last breath. Compete with a good sporting spirit- In any sport only one player or team can win but it is important to respect the team members and the opposite team. By doing this, even if you lose the game you can at least win everyone’s hearts. The importance of playing sports- Everyone should play sports because it teaches the importance of getting up and competing again in the right spirit even after encountering failures. The sport also teaches that it is alright to fail and instill a spirit of fighting back with life’s obstacles. Even Sachin Tendulkar has not won all the games but he bettered himself with each passing match. Both in sport and in life, it is good to compete hard but it is equally important to play in the right spirit. Importance of preparation- Sachin Tendulkar was always aware of the importance of preparation and he gave the due importance to the pre-match preparation. You can be confident only if you have prepared well. No one can control the outcome of any match or any event but the best and the right thing one can do is to prepare well. You can exert your control only on preparing well and giving your 100 percent and hope for the best results, this rule applies everywhere in life. You should focus all your energy and time on the things which can be controlled by you and you should not waste your time and energy on the things which are out of your control. Never give up and walk the right path- In your path of realising your dreams, you should not give up or find shortcuts even if you encounter obstacles. As there are no shortcuts to success, you can only achieve true success by working hard, sticking to the values and not cheating because cheating at your work means cheating yourself. You should always follow the right path and should remember that during the tough times only tough men last. The importance of execution- Many people know how to succeed and realise their dreams but only a few of them take care to execute their plans to become successful. Sachin Tendulkar learned the importance of execution from the sport of cricket. Cricket taught him to plan and prepare for an event beforehand and to execute those plans. Win with the team- A team wins only when great individuals collaborate to collectively contribute their brilliant performances. Sachin Tendulkar always played for the greater good of the team. Become a legend- In Sachin Tendulkar’s long cricket career, he only focused on playing for the country but not for the milestones. Both his brother and coach were instrumental in teaching him the importance of leading a disciplined and focused life. Sachin Tendulkar used to celebrate his success only for a short period of time and he would be always busy thinking about the next game. This habit became an unwritten formula for him throughout his whole career. His family members used to not talk about the last game but instead they used to discuss the upcoming games. Even after the last test match of his career, his brother Ajit Tendulkar called Sachin Tendulkar to discuss his game. Even when he used to score big runs, he would be always hungry to score even more. Sachin Tendulkar used to have restless nights both when he had not scored runs and when he scored runs and used to always think to score more runs in the upcoming matches. Both his brother and coach never appreciated him when he scored big runs and as Sachin Tendulkar longed to receive appreciation from them, he kept on playing well and giving his best and this continued throughout his career. Importance of fitness- Exercise is important for every one of us to stay fit and lead a healthy life. While Sachin Tendulkar was growing up, his grandmother always told him that health is wealth and used to remind him there is no use of having whatever wealth in the absence of good health. Since the beginning of his cricket career, as he wanted to play cricket for many years he quickly realised the importance of physical fitness. This made Sachin Tendulkar avoid late nights, parties and junk food. He took great care to stay fit during his entire cricket career and even when he retired from cricket, he didn’t stop gymming. While cricketing, Sachin Tendulkar used to undergo basic training to maintain his good shape and used to vary his workout plan according to the cricketing seasons. In the pre-season, he tried to improve his fitness level but in between the matches, he used to maintain his fitness and tried to recover. Recovery is important for every sportsman to perform well. Actions speak louder than anything- He became a brilliant player after he spent thousands of hours on the field working on his game. Whenever Sachin Tendulkar faced criticism for his performance, he answered the critics with his actions. Be down to earth- Sachin Tendulkar is a very down to earth person and he never had ego problems even when he played under the captaincy of his juniors. In fact, when he was offered the captaincy role, he refused it and instead recommended Mahendra Singh Dhoni for it. The right values- Sachin Tendulkar was fortunate to have the parents who taught him the right things in life. His father used to treat every individual with respect and he learnt this quality from his father from a very early age. Make sacrifices for your dreams- Sachin Tendulkar became successful because he worked hard and sacrificed many things to realise his dreams. He from a young age of 14 started travelling because he played for India and because of this he was unable to spend time with his family and friends. Sachin Tendulkar spent most of his time practising cricket while his friends used to hangout and watch movies. Later, he also missed many special occasions and even the birthdays of his children. When Arjun Tendulkar was 3 years old, he used to be unhappy with his father leaving him to play cricket. Also, he used to not speak to Sachin Tendulkar on the phone when he would be away for more than one month and this continued for around six years. All these things pained Sachin Tendulkar and he once said that the toughest part of his life was when he was far away from his children. Don’t forget to celebrate- Celebrating our success and milestones will motivate us to accomplish even more. Once in a semi-final Ranji trophy match held between Tamil Nadu and Bombay, Bombay lost eight wickets and had not scored much and was on the verge of losing the game. And Sachin Tendulkar came to bat when Bombay had to score around 40 runs with only two wickets remaining. He helped Bombay to win the match by playing well. Sachin Tendulkar celebrated this victory feverishly even when the stadium was empty and there was no media coverage. His quality of battling the odds with a fighting spirit and dominating the situations served him very well.
