The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award - India's highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his \u003cb\u003efirst Test cap at the age of 16 \u003c\/b\u003eto his 100th international century and \u003cb\u003ethe emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill.\u003c\/b\u003e When a boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of \u003cb\u003ea cricketing phenomenon\u003c\/b\u003e. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers. Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style - s\u003cb\u003ecoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, \u003c\/b\u003e in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. His many achievements with India include \u003cb\u003ewinning the World Cup\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003etopping the world Test rankings\u003c\/b\u003e. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain. Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of \u003cb\u003ea sporting life like no other\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e__________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59617480671564,"sku":"9781473605176","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9781473605176-da6fa24f05d453c5_front.webp?v=1793249609","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/en-ch\/products\/9781473605176","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
