Description

This is not a scorebook, nor is it an accumulation of facts or the extension of a globally recognized 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 Tendulkar's story is told here grippingly, with a wealth of rare, unpublished anecdotes that th...row fresh light on a remarkable career. The book probes the psychological 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 making his 50th century in Test cricket. 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.
