<p>Sachin Tendulkar is still regarded as the best cricketer of all time. During his career, the batting icon played some incredible cricket and set the standard high for future batters as well. On April 24, 1973, he was born in Dadar, Bombay (now Mumbai).

At the age of 11, he took up the sport and got recognition with his impactful unbroken 664-run stand with his friend and teammate Vinod Kambli in a Lord Harris Shield inter-school match against St. Xavier’s High School in 1988.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Early Domestic Career:</h4>
<p>In November 1987, a 14-year-old Tendulkar was selected to represent Bombay in the Ranji Trophy. However, that year, he didn’t get a chance to feature in the playing XI in any of the games.

<h4>Rise through the ranks:</h4>

<p>In 2009, he became the first batter to score 17,000 runs in One-Day Internationals. In the same game, he played one of the best ODI innings of his career against Australia in Hyderabad.

In the end, the Men in Blue lost the game, however, his spunky knock goes down as one of the Best ODI batting performance.</p>
<h4>Achieving the Dream &amp; Retirement:</h4>
<p>India hosted the 2011 World Cup along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
