Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketing hero from India and man affectionately referred to as the "God of cricket," is 51 on April 24. His remarkable debut against Pakistan in 1989 set the stage for a long career. Tendulkar began an incredible journey when, at the age of 16, he became the youngest Indian cricket player to appear in an international match.

After that crucial event, Tendulkar's career took off, shattering batting records with an unmatched level of skill. Being the first cricket player to reach 100 international hundreds is only one of his many remarkable accomplishments; it's a testimonial to his extraordinary talent and commitment to the game.

The pinnacle of Tendulkar's career was reached in 2011 when, with MS Dhoni at his captaincy, he fulfilled his long-held aim of winning the World Cup. Along the way, he witnessed the transfer of the torch to the next generation, symbolised by Virat Kohli.
