This is not a scorebook, nor is it an accumulation of facts or the extension of a globally recognised brand . This is the first in-depth and comprehensive
biography of Sachin Tendulkar, and it puts Sachin the cricketer and the human being in perspective. Tendulkar’s story is told here grippingly, with a wealth of rare, unpublished anecdotes that throw fresh light on a remarkable career. <
br/>The book probes the psychological birth and growth of the world’s leading batsman, examines the historical forces that shaped his personal and cricketing character, analyses his
cricket planning and actions and evaluates the
history the
man himself has created, whether by making his Test debut at 16 or by breaking records with a stunning regularity.
It just as carefully chronicles and discusses his disappointments, failures and the controversies that have cropped up around his name, and provides an insight into Tendulkar the man, who has for so long been kept from public
view. Above all, the book places Tendulkar in the context of the international cricket tradition and determines his exact place in world cricket history. Capacious and yet crisp, Sachin Tendulkar: A Definitive Biography is Tendulkar in totality.
What makes Sachin Tendulkar the best batsman in the world - and one of the most reclusive players off the field? What are the influences that motivated him along the path to greatness? How does he view himself and the sport which has been his lifelong passion? This account of the life of one of the world''s greatest cricketers mines evidence from previously published reports and
interviews as well as first-hand interviews with Sachin''s friends, family and associates to give us a complete picture of India''s most celebrated sportsman.
