Sachin Tendulkar
This page presents some of the notable achievements of Sachin Tendulkar, a former Indian cricketer, universally regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time.

He played first-class cricket for 26 years and one day, whilst his international career spanned exactly 24 years from 15 November 1989 to 15 November 2013.
