In 1989, when this mumbaikar made his debut at a tender age of 16 against Pakistan abandoning education for the sake of his first love CRICKET, who knew that 20 years from then, he'll be the king of his world. Soon after hitting his first century in international cricket, he found his second love,accidentally. Anjali Mehta, a medical student. Being in courtship with her for five years, he engaged her in 1994 and married her a year after. She had been her greatest support since then.
Lets take a look at some of his innumerable records and achievements:
Highest run scorer in test and one-day cricket
Maximum numbers of centuries in ODIs and test cricket
15 times man of the series(also a record)
61 times man of the match
the biggest of all: The only man on earth to score a double-ton in an ODI.
and a lot more.....
Life has not been a bed of roses for him. He faced many challenges in his 20 year long career. He Suffered a tennis elbow injury and trouble in his shoulder, but he stopped against none and roared again. Be it a fast bowler or a spinner, he thrashed each and every one of them.
The greatest player of the century is modest, humble and convivial by nature. Never do you find him involved in any controversies. Having a highly balanced personality who takes both criticism and praise as the way it comes to him, without being affected much by them. His calm and serene nature is adored by everyone he meets. His disciplined nature both on and off the field can not be neglected. Apart from the millions of chauvinistic followers, he is also admired by some of the world's greatest cricketers which includes Sanath Jaisurya, Shane Warne, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and many more. Chances are there that he is awarded with the highest civilian award "the Bharat Ratna".
I pray this this legendary player lives for a thousand more years and scores a million more runs for the country. Love You Sachin!!!
