Tendulkar in Wisden: An Anthology

Sachin Tendulkar, who retired from playing in 2014, is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest cricketers of all time ? and arguably the greatest batsman ever.

From the time Tendulkar made an appearance as a schoolboy cricketer in the 1989 Wisden Cricketers Almanack to his retirement in 2014, Wisden on Tendulkar records the highlights of an exceptional career ? handpicked from all Wisden publications over a quarter of a century and curated for a global audience, with special appeal to an Indian readership.

Wisden on Tendulkar includes reports from his first Test in Pakistan as a 16-year-old ? where a Waqar Younis bouncer had him bleeding ? to his final Test at home, when a country wept as it said goodbye to its most celebrated sporting icon.

The most prolific run-getter of all time, the most diverse Test and one-day batsman, the worlds most eminent cricketing hero, Tendulkar has many records to his name. His place in cricketing history is especially significant ? not just for all the records he broke or comparisons with Don Bradman, but for what Tendulkar meant to a young nation finding its voice in a globalised world.
