Sachin’s Major Biographies
8. Sachin Tendulkar was born on April 24, 1973 at the Nirmal Nursing Home in
Dadar, Mumbai. His father was one of the most famous novelists of
Maharashtra, Ramesh Tendulkar. His father named Sachin after Sachin Dev
Burman who happened to be his favourite music director.
In his teens Sachin was a big fan of John McEnroe, one of the prominent
tennis stars from the US who was also known for his fits of temper. Ajit
decided to do away with the bullying and mischievous nature of Sachin and so
he introduced him to cricket during 1984. He took Sachin to Ramakant
Achrekar, who was one of the most well known club cricketers of his time as
well as a top coach. He used to teach at Shivaji Park, Dadar.
Achrekar liked what we saw with the young Sachin and asked him to change
his school to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) High School, which was
located in Dadar itself. The school was a top name in local cricketing circles
and had gifted many famous cricketers at that time. Before this, Sachin had
been studying at the Indian Education Society’s New English School in
Bandra East.

CAREER
INFORMATION
11. The 38-year-old completed his landmark century, his 49th in one-day cricket,
with a single clipped to square leg.
After being dismissed for 114, he said: "I was not thinking about the milestone.
It hasn't sunk in."
Tendulkar had twice been out in the 90s after scoring his 99th century against
South Africa in March 2011. He added: "A year ago when I got my 99th hundred no-one spoke about it
during theWorld Cup, then I guess it was the media who began talking
about it.
"Wherever I went, to a restaurant, the house keeping, the room service,
whoever I met just spoke about the 100th hundred.
"It became a little difficult mentally, because I am not playing only for my
100th hundred.
"The 99 hundreds that I scored, nobody spoke about them. Everyone had
their opinion but eventually I have got to do what is important for the
team.
