Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an Indian cricketer,
widely considered to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
He currently holds the records for the most cumulative runs in One-Day Internationals,
and the most number of centuries scored in both One-day Internationals and Test cricket.
He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of sixteen,
becoming India's youngest Test player.
Although primarily a top-order batsman, Tendulkar has often proved to be a useful
and effective slow bowler.
He received India's highest sporting honour,
the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in the year 1997-1998 and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999.
His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as The Little Master by his adoring fans.

Tendulkar's hundred hundreds
The Country-wise break-up of Sachin's 100 tons
March 16, 2012
Sachin Tendulkar finally ended his year-long wait to score an international century at the Asia Cup in Mirpur. Tendulkar, who turns 39 next month, became the first cricketer to score 100 international centuries, reaching another record in his glittering two-decade career. Since his 1989 Karachi debut against Pakistan, the 38-year-old has accumulated almost 34,000 international runs from 188 test matches, 462 one-dayers and one T20 international. However, it took Tendulkar 33 innings to move from number 99 to 100, and the ton came in a losing cause against Bangladesh who chased down India's score of 289/5 with 5 wickets and 4 balls to spare.
