Sachin Tendulkar made his debut in international cricket and achieved many records and achievements including over 27,000 runs in international cricket, the maximum number of centuries in one day and test cricket, and the maximum runs scored in world cup competitions. He received many prestigious awards for his contributions and was recommended for an honorary knighthood. Some interesting facts are that he was never played at under-15, 17, or 19 levels, wants to initially be a fast bowler, and holds the Indian record for the most ducks out in ODIs. It is India's desire that Sachin's cricket records will never be broken.
