    Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar ( /stn tndulkr/; born 24 April 1973) is a

    former Indian cricketer and captain, widely regarded as one of the


    greatest batsmen of all time.[4] He took up cricket at the age of eleven, made
    his Test debut on 15 November 1989 against Pakistan in Karachi at the age of
    sixteen, and went on to represent Mumbai domestically and India internationally
    for close to twenty-four years. He is the only player to have scored one hundred
    international centuries, the first batsman to score a double century in a One Day
    International, the holder of the record for the number of runs in
    both ODI and Test cricket, and the only player to complete more than
    30,000 runs in international cricket.[5]

    In 2002, just halfway through his career, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack ranked
    him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Don Bradman, and the
    second greatest ODI batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards.[6] Later in his
    career, Tendulkar was a part of the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup, his
    first win in six World Cup appearances for India.[7] He had previously been named
    "Player of the Tournament" at the 2003 edition of the tournament, held in South
    Africa. In 2013, he was the only Indian cricketer included in an all-time Test World
    XI named to mark the 150th anniversary of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.[8][9][10]

    Tendulkar received the Arjuna Award in 1994 for his outstanding sporting
    achievement, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 1997, India's highest
    sporting honour, and the Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan awards in 1999 and
    2008, respectively, India's fourth and second highest civilian awards.[11]After a few
    hours of his final match on 16 November 2013, the Prime Minister's
    Office announced the decision to award him the Bharat Ratna, India's highest
    civilian award.[12][13] He is the youngest recipient to date and the first ever
    sportsperson to receive the award.[14][15] He also won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers
    Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards.[16] In 2012, Tendulkar was
    nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India.[17] He
    was also the first sportsperson and the first person without an aviation
    background to be awarded the honorary rank of group captain by the Indian Air
    Force.[18] In 2012, he was named an Honorary Member of the Order of Australia.[19]
    [20]

    In December 2012, Tendulkar announced his retirement from ODIs.[21] He retired


    from Twenty20 cricket in October 2013[22] and subsequently announced his
    retirement from all forms of cricket,[23][24] retiring on 16 November 2013 after
    playing his 200th and final Test match, against the West Indies in
    Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.[25] Tendulkar played 664 international cricket
    matches in total, scoring 34,357 runs.[5]
