Tendulkar made his debut in international
competition at 16 with a match against Pakistan in Karachi. He wasted little time matching the expectations
surrounding his arrival on the professional field. At the age of 18 he scored a
pair of centuries in Australia, then in 1994 racked up a score of 179 in a match
against the West Indies.Tendulkar was just 23 when he was named captain of his
country's team for the 1996 World Cup. While the tournament proved to be a
disappointment for his club, Tendulkar did nothing to diminish his own standing
as one of the world's dominant players. He finished out the World Cup as the
event's top scorer.
Sachin is the most capped Indian
player of all time and sits fourth on the world list of most capped players.

In 2000 he became the first
batsman to have scored 50 international hundreds, in 2008 he passed Brian Lara
as the leading Test run-scorer, and in the years after, he went past 13,000
Test runs 30,000 international runs, and 50 Test hundreds.
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 retains a divine
enthusiasm for the game, and he seems to be untouched by age: at 36 years and
306 days he broke a 40-year-old barrier by scoring the first double-century in
one-day cricket. In 2012, when just one month short of his 39th birthday, he
became the first player to score 100 international centuries.
In the 2011 World Cup, Tendulkar scored 482
runs at an average of 53.55 including two centuries, he was India’s lead run scorer
for the tournament; only T.Dilshan<SRI> scored more runs in the tournament.
After defeating Sri Lanka in the final ‘the master blaster’ commented, ”Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life….I couldn’t control
my tears of joy. ”

Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete
batsman of his time, the most prolific run maker of all time, and arguably the
biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the
purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in
stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses:
anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot
punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full
range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull
them out at will.
