- because he has alot of runs and he one of the best batman ever
- Two decades after laying waste the reputations of some fine bowlers, the reality of growing up came to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar in the form of a condition now famous as Tennis Elbow. The injury cast him out of cricket for so long that when he finally picks up the bat for the Challenger series in a few days, it will be remembered as a resurrection.
he used to be called McEnroe by his middle-class cricketing friends as a tribute to his strange hairstyle.Player politics has never concerned him. Every single passing moment during his break, all he has been thinking of is getting back into the centre of that uproarious stadium where sportsmen and fans unite without ever meeting their eyes. To achieve this end, he has been following a strict fitness regimen. The 6-am wakeup is now an 8-o'clock rising. A quick glance at the papers, bath and breakfast and the champion is in company of his physical trainer at a gym in a five-star hotel by 10. Two and half hours of workout, and he is back home for a shower. Lunch at 1.30, a little rest, play with kids or other engagements would follow.
Dinner is almost always a private affair at home or out in the company of family or very close friends. A clear seafood lover, his favourite accompaniment is a good red wine. He has been busy flicking television channels too. Apart from the usual cricket and Formula-One action, he's hooked on to an American serial.
"I enjoy watching television and of late I've been watching the serial '24' starring Keifer Sutherland and Sarah Clarke with a lot of interest," he says, sporting an impish smile. But Tendulkar is not domesticated yet. His family knows that he stays at home with a nagging wish to do something better outside.
"Actually, nobody wants me to sit at home. They all know that I don't like it. In fact my mother, my wife, my brothers and sisters have all been praying for me to recover as quickly as possible and be back on the cricket field," he says and that's exactly what is going to happen in less than a fortnight.
He appears to have a clear view of his future, a long future in his opinion. He believes that self-improvement is not an unending process. It has a natural upper limit.
But the "thinking" can change, he says, and it is this thought that defines a sportsman after he reaches the pinnacle of his abilities. "Once a cup of tea is full you cannot fill in anymore tea," he says, referring to the nature of talent. "But you can definitely change the temperature." THIS HIS HOW S.R.T HIS
- silly question
- he is a greatest batsman in a world and he make soo much reords
- Hes famous because he started when he was very young and he is the best batsman in the world. He has the most runs.
- A Legendary cricker in the history of game.Its treat to watch when he is in full flow.He can play classical shots and attacking shots.I will rate him best batsman than Bradman bcoz he had scored tones of runs every where and on every country.But where as at the time of bradman's phase,they used to play only either in eng or aus.And one more thing, all these years he has scored all these runs under so much of pressure where as the bradman team has legendary cricketers so that,if he fails,not much trouble to the team where as,in sachin's era,if he fails the team will collapse.Even in that situations also,he used to play attacking game with more consistancy.
And his down to earth nature makes him so famous.He never used to comment on the Bowlers.He lets his bat to speak all these yars.Thats why he is Very famous
