And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers.Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style-scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games.

The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award-India's highest civilian honour-on the day of his retirement. The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The autobiography of the highest scoring batsman of all time. ![]()
