Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India), often referred to as The Little Master or The Master Blaster, is an Indian cricketer extensively regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden rated him as the second most Test batsman after Sir Donald Bradman, and the greatest One-day international batsman.

He holds a number of highly regarded batting records and is the leading scorer of centuries in both Test cricket and One-day internationals. He is one of the three batsmen to exceed 11,000 runs in Test cricket, and the first Indian to do so. He is the most productive run scorer in ODIs by a margin of over 4000 runs and has scored the most runs in international cricket as a whole. He crossed 16,000 runs in ODIs on February 5, 2008 though playing next to Sri Lanka in Brisbane, Australia
