Sachin Tendulkar – the greatest batsman of all times

Published On: 27th February 2010

By MR Siddiqui

An old saying, “A genius is a genius and shall always remain a genius”, has been aptly proved by Sachin Tendulkar. At a tender age of 16 in 1989, and at his debut match against Pakistan, Tendulkar has demonstrated his exceptional natural batting flair by hitting Abdul Kader’s balls out off the boundary repeatedly.
Abdul Kader – the then world renowned spinner was stunned by his aggressive batting and most atrocious hitting. Kader then paid his tribute by describing Tendulkar as future great cricketer. Since then, he never looked back.
