“There's only one man who can play a better shot than Sachin Tendulkar and that's Tendulkar himself.

Ranking best Stumping in Cricket History

Which one is your Favourite?

[Saniddhya @Saniddhya5]

That was some era in ODI Cricket man, from 25-35 overs, you could just hand the ball to anybody and the run rate still won't go past 5

[🎰 @StanMSD]

What a character. Commentary on the track too 😂

[Sachinism Lives On @sachinyuvifan]

The influence of Sachin Tendulkar on Yuvraj Singh was unreal 🥹❤️

Yuvraj dedicated his century to Sachin Tendulkar after the Master helped him decode Ajantha Mendis 🇮🇳

38-year-old Tendulkar fielding in the deep.

He wasn’t a natural diver, but he had a powerful throwing arm and exceptional accuracy.

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

Watched this reel on lockdown with friends and we all laughed and said he will definitely become Instagram star and will disappear😭

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sorry man 🙏 wasnt aware about your game😭🔥

[Akul (𝑨𝑻10) @Loyalsachfan10]

How fast do you think that ball was traveling?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi kept his eyes on it till the last second, it wasn't in his hitting zone… but wow man that PACE was unreal ⚡

I guess the best 44 runs ever hit in cricket history.

Hard to explain this level of genius. When u combine batting purity & brutality of viv richards u get these 44 runs. The fact that tendulkar batted like this foe most part of 90's is insane.

Brilliance of Sachin defined by Steyn 👇

When I was bowling others I was going beat & Bamboozling them with swing. But Sachin Tendulkar knew exactly what I was going to bowl before started. never felt so hopeless. Worst feeling as a bowler.

This image captures the 'tapasya' behind the making of a legend. A modest room, a simple striped mattress, and a young man completely unaware that he was about to carry the dreams of a billion people and change the face of Indian cricket forever. Happy birthday @sachin_rt

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

Happy birthday Sachin Tendulkar. Nothing can truly capture the immense burden he has borne for over two decades & the unbelievable following he has around the world. But this prize winning picture by Atul Kamble of him walking out at the Wankhede for his last test innings comes pretty close!

Just a small anecdote of Sachin Tendulkar’s Irani Trophy debut on his birthday:

November 1989, Wankhede Stadium.
5 selectors sat in the stands with notebooks & doubts, watching a 16 year old boy try to force his way onto a plane to Pakistan. Sachin Tendulkar had already shone through the Ranji season, 583 runs showing he was ready. But the men in charge preferred patience. They wanted one more look.

Irani Trophy gave it to them. Rest of India against Delhi. Tendulkar made 39 in first innings. Promising, but not the hundred that would have made selection automatic. So the 2nd innings became an audition he could not afford to fail.

What happened next was less a cricket match & more a rescue mission. Tendulkar walked in at number 4. Scorecard around him read like a horror story. Not a single teammate managed to reach double figures after he arrived (in fact, no one crossed 6 runs). Wickets fell like dominoes. By the time 9th wicket went down, he was stranded in the 80s, the hundred slipping away with every departing batter.

Enter Gursharan Singh. Rest of India vice captain had fractured his finger in first innings, his right hand wrapped in plaster, his match effectively over. Then Raj Singh Dungarpur walked over & told him to pad up. Not to save the game, but to save the boy’s hundred.

Gursharan walked out one handed. Tendulkar, already heading back to the pavilion assuming the injured man would not bat, stopped in his tracks. Gursharan looked at him & said, “Tera hundred kar ke jayenge.”

Tendulkar smiled, took strike & told Gursharan he would handle Maninder Singh himself. They added 36 runs for last wicket & Sachin scored 103*.

A week later, he was on a flight to Karachi. Selectors had seen enough. Sometimes greatness needs a century. Sometimes it needs a teammate with a broken finger willing to stand in the firing line so the story can continue.

2006, Capetown Test

We said earlier HE BATS , HE BALLS .. HE can do anything...

I have seen Rahul Dravid enjoying like this whenever Tendulkar used to take wicket.

Shot of a genius.

Brian Lara plays a stunning square cut off Danny Morrison during a 1992 Cricket World Cup match in Auckland.

At the moment of contact, both his feet were in the air, a remarkable display of balance, timing, and pure class.

Peak 90s: Sachin Tendulkar at his absolute best.

[Cricketopia @CricketopiaCom]

Sachin was 25 then, while Sara was just one. This one-hour show, ‘Tendulkar at 25,’ came after his famous twin hundreds in Sharjah in 1998.

[Cricketopia @CricketopiaCom]

John Wright first spotted Jasprit Bumrah in 2013 during a domestic T20 game in Ahmedabad, impressed by his unusual action and ability to bowl 12 consecutive yorkers at pace.

To test him, Wright had Bumrah bowl to Sachin Tendulkar in the nets. After the session, Tendulkar praised the youngster, saying he was difficult to pick, a moment Wright called a triumph.
