Jaico Cricketwallah SeriesFrom his appearance on the firmament as a 16-year-old, Tendulkar has been a beacon for the new India.When India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011, an abiding image from the celebrations was of the Indian cricket team carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders around Wankhede stadium. Tendulkar was not the captain of the team and the victory had been a team effort. But for the players, the victory was a gift to a man, arguably Indias greatest cricketer and inarguably one of the very greatest in the world.Sachin Tendulkars story may have been told many times, but it never stops delighting the cricket fan. In the 25 years that Tendulkar has played cricket, there is almost no existing batting record that he has not broken, or no impossible record that he has not set. He has even changed the way money and endorsements entered the game. At the same time, his incredible batting skills have kept him rooted in the fine traditions of cricket.Some say that one runs out of words when describing Sachin Tendulkars prowess and achievements.
