As India rose Indian cricket rose with it and at the heart of this journey stood one man
Sachin Tendulkar. 🇮🇳❤️
In the 90s and 2000s Sachin was bigger than any Bollywood star because he was more than just a cricketer. He was the one name that united every household, every caste, every religion, and every corner of India.
India had many heroes, but Sachin was an emotion that belonged to everyone.
Different languages
Different religions
One nation
One emotion
One name

I’m excited to announce my partnership with OpenAI. We have some interesting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
I’ve always been curious... One question usually leads to another, and ChatGPT has certainly encouraged that habit. But it has also proved useful when I’ve needed to get things done, like planning my last trip with the family.
That’s what I’m looking forward to with this partnership. Discovering what else I can do with ChatGPT, sharing what I find useful, and encouraging more people to give it a try with something they care about.
A question, an idea, something you’ve always wanted to explore. There are so many places to start.
Looking forward to exploring together.

When I think about the people who shaped my journey, I do not begin with a cricket ground or a coach. I begin at home.
Long before anyone outside my family knew my name, my father had begun to recognise my love for cricket and, perhaps more importantly, understand what it meant to me. He never knew exactly where that journey would take me. But he gave me the freedom to pursue it.
My father, Ramesh Tendulkar, was a writer, poet, and a professor, but more a mentor, a guide to many, including me. He gave me the freedom to pursue cricket while reminding me that success should never come at the cost of character. Some of the words my father said to me as a young boy have stayed with me throughout my life: failure is okay, but cheating is not. Never take shortcuts.
I was simply a boy who loved playing cricket. My father saw something more. He did not try to decide what I should become. Instead, he gave me the space and support to discover it for myself.
That, in many ways, is what a great teacher or mentor does. They recognise a possibility in you before you can recognise it yourself.
India has no shortage of young talent. Whether a child picks up a bat, a ball, a book or discovers an ability in some other field, it makes them unique in their own way. What they often lack is not talent, but access to people who can recognise that talent and help nurture it.
This belief was at the core of why Anjali and I started the Foundation. Across India, there are children with immense potential who may never get the chance to discover it because they lack access to a coach, a mentor, the right learning environment or basic healthcare. Our vision is that they get equal access to sports, healthcare and education, and a chance to prove that they belong.
My father spent his life as an educator, and I think his greatest lesson to me was the importance of giving someone the confidence and opportunity to find their own potential. This Teachers’ Day, we take the opportunity to honour the first person who saw something in me and believed in what I could become.
It is with immense pride, we are introducing the Professor Ramesh Tendulkar Memorial Fellowship, in partnership with our long-standing healthcare partner, Inga Health Foundation.
Each year, one MD (Doctor of Medicine) will receive financial support for a year-long opportunity to specialise in cleft and craniofacial care in Srinagar. On completing the programme, the fellow will receive a certificate from the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, recognising the excellence. This is part of our long-standing commitment to support healthcare professionals in critical care and also encourage the young doctors in their field of study.
For me, this is more than a fellowship. It is a way of carrying forward something my father deeply believed in - that education creates opportunity, and that opportunity becomes truly meaningful when it is used to serve others.
My father gave me the confidence to find my own path. He dedicated his life to educating and guiding others, and I hope we can create that same sense of possibility for others, giving children and young people the opportunity to discover what they can become, and the means to make something of it.
The lessons of a teacher may begin with one student, but their influence can travel much further, from one life to another and from one generation to the next.
Happy Teachers’ Day!
54 shots, 39 seconds
Less than a second of each shot, yet you can instantly remember the match it came from.
Your mind gives you the opposition, venue, year and even the match context.
How good is your cricket brain sync with each clip because Sachin Tendulkar. 😍
You don't have to be the best in the world to feel on top of the world.
That's what we believe here at @tenxyou_in and that's what the #NeverStopPlaying Anthem is about.

During his first test hundred, Laxman batted with aggression and pride, unleashing a glorious array of strokes.
He took apart Brett Lee (52 runs in 5 overs at one point), while even Shane Warne came in for punishment.
The Australians were so frustrated that they turned to Ricky Ponting and Michael Slater late in the day.
Australia v India, Sydney 2000
Sachin Tendulkar 81 vs Australia, Chennai. 🇮🇳❤️
His last best score against Australia in the BGT.
How does it even sink in that the player you watched, admired and fell in love with the game because of… eventually stops playing it?
The first of 100 international centuries 💯
#OTD in 1990, @sachin_rt announced his arrival with a flawless 1️⃣1️⃣9️⃣* against England in Manchester, batting out the final day to pull off a crucial match-saving draw 👏👏
#TeamIndia
An illustrious career comes to an end 🇮🇳
Thank you @ajinkyarahane88 for your immense contribution to Indian cricket and all the memories that will be cherished forever
Wishing you the very best in your next chapter
#TeamIndia | #ThankYouAjinkya
Congratulations on a remarkable career, @ajinkyarahane88.
The first time we batted together for Mumbai, I saw someone who never chased moments. They came to you because you were willing to do the hard yards for the team. That same quality defined your finest hour in Australia. You showed that composure isn't the opposite of aggression. It is often what gives a team the confidence to be fearless.
Congratulations on a wonderful career! Wishing you and your family all the very best.
Standing here today, I realised something. No matter how many years pass, I’ll always feel like I have one more ‘thank you’ left to say.
Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and helping me become the person I am.
Happy Guru Purnima, Achrekar Sir.
16,000 feet ki oonchai. Barf se dhaki chattanein. Dushman upar baitha tha, hamare jawaan neeche se chadh rahe the.
Har kadam desh ke liye.
Duniya mein selfless log dhundhne hain toh zyada door nahi jaana padta. Bas ek fauji ki zindagi dekh lo. Woh sirf itna chahta hai ki uske peeche jo desh hai, woh surakshit rahe.
527 beton ne apni jaan di. Taaki hum aaj aaram se so sakein, azaad saans le sakein.
27 saal ho gaye. Ehsaan kabhi nahi bhoolenge.
Salaam un sabko. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳🙏
