Tendulkar (born 24 April 1973) is an Indian Cricketer. Cricket as popularly known as ‘The game of uncertainty’ has certainly provided us with a big name to cherish. Often known as ‘The God of cricket’, ‘the master blaster’ and ‘the little master’,  holds several batting records, including the most Test centuries and the most one-day international centuries, and was rated in 2002 by Wisden as the second greatest Test batsman ever, after Sir Don Bradman. He received the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India’s highest sporting honour, for 1997-1998, and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999. Tendulkar was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997.
