Sachin Tendulkar - The most complete batsman of his time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon as well, Sachin Tendulkar batting is based on the purest principles: economy of movement, perfect balance, anticipation and precision in stroke-making.
There are no apparent weaknesses in Tendulkar's game. He can score all around the wicket, temper his game, can tune his technique and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.
Most appearances in ODI's, most ODI hundreds, most test hundreds, most international hundreds, most runs in test and one day cricket history, most runs in a calendar year, most runs in any world cup, the pages of record books would prove to be insufficient to record the achievements of this cricketing Maestro. Sachin Records are the one's made to be beaten by Sachin only now! :).
