The Biography Of Sachin Tendulkar
We all know Sachin as ‘The Master Blaster’ but he had a lot more to his life than just a nickname. This project is to showcase the upbringing of a terrific man who has gone down in the history of Indian cricket.
1. Childhood
Sachin was born on 24th April 1973 to Ramesh Tendulkar who was a well known Marathi novelist and Rajni Tendulkar who worked in the insurance industry. Sachin’s father named him after his favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman. Sachin has three siblings- two half-brothers Nitin and Ajit and a half-sister Savita. Sachin spent his formative years at Sahitya Sahwas Cooperative housing society which was located in east Bandra. Sachin was known at school as a bully and often picked fights with other children. To channel this energy Ajit introduced him to cricket in 1984. He took him to his coach Ramakant Achrekar who was very well known at that time. At the first meeting Sachin did not play well Ajit told Achrekar that he was feeling self conscious due to the coach noticing him, and wasn’t displaying his natural game. Ajit told Achrekar to give him another chance but this time to watch him from behind a tree. Sachin was unaware that he was being observed and played an amazing game and thus he was accepted at Achrekar’s academy. Achrekar advised Sachin to change his school to Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School. A school which was well known for producing some of the country’s best cricketers.
He was coached by Achrekar at Shivaji Park every morning and evening. Sachin would practice for hours at the nets. When he looked very tired Achrekar would place a coin on the stumps and the bowler to dismiss Sachin would get the coin. However, if Sachin managed to remain for the entire session he would receive the coin. Sachin’s most prized possessions are the 13 coins he earned in those years. Meanwhile at school, he developed a reputation as a child prodigy. He had become a common conversation point in local
