Shachin Tendulkar Profile

Profile

Sachin Tendulkar has been the largest part complete batsman of his time, the largest prolific run maker of all time, and possibly the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that insubstantial quality given only to geniuses: anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally skillful at each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.
