Sachin Personal Life

• Tendulkar elder brother Ajit encourage him to play cricket . Tendulkar has two other sibling: a brother nitin and sister Savitai.

• In 1995 Tendulkar married Anjali (a doughter pf Gujrati industrialist anand mehta). They have two children, sara and arjun.

Cricketing Career• Tendulkar attended sharadashram Vidya mandir (high school),

where began his cricketing career under the guidance of his coach and mentor, ramakant achrekar. During his school days he attended the MRF pace foundation to train as a fast bowler. But Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillie, who took a world record 355 Test wickets, was un impressed, suggesting that Tendulkar focus on his batting instead.

• He was 11 years old when he was given his first cricket bat, and his talent in the sport was immediately apparent. At the age of 14, he scored 326 out of a world-record stand of 664 in a school match. As his accomplishments grew, he became a sort of cult figure among Bombay schoolboys.

• The 15-year-old Tendulkar scored a century in his domestic first-class debut for Bombay in December 1988, making him the youngest player to do so. Eleven months later, he made his international debut for India against Pakistan, where he famously declined medical assistance despite getting hit in the face by Waqar Younis.

• In August 1990, the 17-year-old delivered a match-saving 119 not out against England to become the second-youngest player to record a century in Test play.

• After finishing the 1996 World Cup as the event's leading scorer, Tendulkar was named captain of the Indian national team. However, his tenure marked one of the few blights on an otherwise illustrious career. He was relieved of the responsibility in January 1998, and briefly took over as captain again in 1999, but overall won just four of 25 Test matches in that position.

Continue success• His struggles with the captaincy notwithstanding, Tendulkar

remained as brilliant as ever on the field. He delivered perhaps his finest season in 1998, devastating Australia with both his maiden first-class double century and his memorable "desert storm" performance in Sharjah. In 2001, Tendulkar became the first player to score 10,000 runs in One Day International (ODI) competition.

• . In April 2011, Tendulkar chalked up another milestone when he and his team propelled India to a World Cup victory over Sri Lanka, the first in his long career. During the tournament, he again demonstrated he was in a class by himself by becoming the first batsman to score 2,000 runs and six centuries in World Cup play.
