History of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
LIttle Master Sachin
Tendulkar was born on 24 April 1973 into a
Rajapur Saraswat Brahim family in
Bombay (now Mumbai)Sachin_Tendulkar. India given his first cricket bat at the age 11, Tendulkar was just 16 when he became
India’s youngest Test cricketer. His father Ramesh Tendulkar was a reputed
Marathi
novelist and his mother Rajni also worked in the insurance industry.
His Father Ramesh named Tendulkar after his favorite music director,
Sachin Dev Burman. Sachin Tendulkar has three elder siblings: two
half-brothers Nitin and Ajit, and a half-sister Savita. They were
Ramesh’s children from his first marriage. He spent his formative years
in the
Sahitya Sahawas Cooperative Housing Society, Bandra (East), Bombay. His brother
Ajit introduced Young Sachin to cricket in 1984 with Ramakant Achrekar, a famous cricket coach of Bombay and a club cricketer of repute, at Shivaji Park, Dadar, Bombay.
Early domestic career
On 14 November 1987, Tendulkar was selected to represent Bombay in
the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic first-class cricket
tournament, for the 1987–88 season. However, he was not selected for the
final eleven in any of the matches. A year later, on 11 December 1988,
aged just 15 years and 232 days, Tendulkar made his debut for Bombay
against Gujarat at home and scored 100 not out in that match, making him
the youngest Indian to score a century on first-class debut. He was
handpicked to play for the team by the then Mumbai captain Dilip
Vengsarkar after watching him easily negotiating India’s best fast
bowler at the time, Kapil Dev, in the Wankhede Stadium nets, where the
Indian team had come to play against the touring New Zealand team. He
followed this by scoring a century in his first Deodhar and Duleep
Trophies, which are also Indian domestic tournaments.
Tendulkar finished the 1988–89 season as Bombay’s highest run-scorer.
He also made an unbeaten century in the Irani Trophy match against Delhi
at the start of the 1989–90 season, playing for the Rest of India.
In 1992, at the age of 19, Tendulkar became the first overseas-born
player to represent Yorkshire, which prior to Tendulkar joining the
team, never selected players even from other English counties. Selected
for Yorkshire as a replacement for the injured Australian fast bowler
Craig McDermott, , Tendulkar played 16 first-class matches for the
county and scored 1070 runs at an average of 46.52.
His first double century was for Mumbai while playing against the
visiting Australian team at the Brabourne Stadium in 1998. He is the
only player to score a century in all three of his domestic first-class
debuts.
International career
Raj
Singh Dungarpur is credited for the selection of Tendulkar for the
Indian tour of Pakistan in late 1989, and that also after just one first
class season. The Indian selection committee had shown interest in
selecting Tendulkar for the tour of the West Indies held earlier that
year, but eventually did not select him, as they did not want him to be
exposed to the dominant fast bowlers of the West Indies so early in his
career. Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan in Karachi in
November 1989 aged just 16 years and 223 days. He made just 15 runs,
being bowled by Waqar Youins, who also made his debut in that match, but
was noted for how he handled numerous blows to his body at the hands of
the Pakistani pace attack. In the fourth and final test in Sialkot, he
was hit on the nose by a bouncer bowled by Imran Khan, but he declined
medical assistance and continued to bat even as he gushed blood from it.
In a 20 over exhibition game in Peshawar, held in parallel with the
bilateral series, Tendulkar made 53 runs off 18 balls, including an over
in which he scored 27 runs off leg-spinner Abdul Qadir. This was later
called “one of the best innings I have seen” by the then Indian captain
Krishnamachari Srikkanth. In all, he scored 215 runs at an average of
35.83 in the Test series, and was dismissed without scoring a run in the
only One Day International (ODI) he played.
The series was followed by a tour of New Zealand in which he scored
117 runs at an average of 29.25 in, Tests including an innings of 88 in
the Second Test. He was dismissed without scoring in one of the two
one-day games he played, and scored 36 in the other. On his next tour,
to England in July/August 1990, he became the second youngest cricketer
to score a Test century as he made 119 not out at Old Trafford in
Manchester. Wisden described his innings as “a disciplined display of
immense maturity” and also wrote:
“He looked the embodiment of India’s famous opener, Gavaskar, and
indeed was wearing a pair of his pads. While he displayed a full
repertoire of strokes in compiling his maiden Test hundred, most
remarkable were his off-side shots from the back foot. Though only 5ft
5in tall, he was still able to control without difficulty short
deliveries from the English pacemen.”
Tendulkar further enhanced his development during the 1991–1992 tour
of Australia held before the 1992 Cricket World 1992 Cricket World Cup,
that included an unbeaten 148 in Sydney and 114 on a fast, bouncing
pitch at Perth against a world-class pace attack comprising Merv
Hughes,Bruce Reid and Craig McDermott. Hughes commented to Allan Border
at the time that “This little prick’s going to get more runs than you,
AB.”
