Product Description

Review
"He is a god in India and people believe luck shines in his hand...It is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man."

Synopsis
What makes Sachin Tendulkar the best batsman in the world - and one of the most reclusive players off the field? What are the influences that motivated him along the path to greatness? How does he view himself and the sport which has been his lifelong passion? This account of the life of one of the world's greatest cricketers mines evidence from previously published reports and interviews as well as first-hand interviews with Sachin's friends, family and associates to give us a complete picture of India's most celebrated sportsman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest, greatest, greatest, 13 April 2006
By Big Joe (England) - See all my reviews
For me, the title says it all. Sachin is simply the world's greatest batsman, and a personal hero for me and many hundreds of millions of fellow Indian cricket fans. As a cricketer he has no equal, but just as attractive for me is the shy demeanour, boyish smile, and small but perfectly formed athletes body. I would gladly sacrifice all of my wordly possessions for a chance to meet him in the flesh, but until then I will just have to make do with this wonderful book and its full colour photos. Luckily for me it isn't too heavy to hold with just one hand.

I usually dont read sports biographies because thye can be really boring but this book is very interesting and is full of interesting statistics. It covers everything from Tendulkar's debut in 1989 right up to England's most recent tour of India. Its a very good read...

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Sachin: is a very interesting and informative autiobigraphy about the the world greatest batman, who is the next Bradman, the Australian legend. An interesting account is provided into his early childhood and his early days into how he achieved his status as the world greatest batman. I found the book fascinating to read and would truly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in cricket like myself.
