Sachin Tendulkar career highlights

‘Sachin Tendulkar found the boundary despite nine fielders on the fence!’
I first came across Sachin Tendulkar when we were playing a school game in Kalyan. I was playing for the SV Joshi High School and we were facing Sachin’s Sharadashram. Sachin smashed us all over the park and got a century. Years later, I shared the dressing room with him for Mumbai and India.

Sachin Tendulkar and the Argumentative Indian – Part 2 of 2
I had watched him score 119 not out in Manchester — an innings that announced his arrival on the world stage. I was in England those days. A few months later, I moved to Australia and there, I watched every ball he faced when he made 148 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 1992 in the company of Ravi Shastri. But more importantly I watched in awe, with pride and a growing sense of admiration as he braved the pace of Craig McDermott, Merv Hughes, Paul Rieffel, Mike Whitney and Tom Moody when he made 114 at Perth a month later. I had watched the young boy grow up to be a man — and then a legend, all in the space of 18 months. During that defining Perth innings, the Boy Wonder had become a man. To date, it remains the best innings I have watched Tendulkar play.
