Description

The autobiography of the highest scoring batsman of all time. The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award - India's highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers.Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style - scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain.Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other. Read more

    • India's Most Revered Cricket Icon Of All Time Tells His Story
Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography "Sachin Tendulkar: Playing It My Way" is amazing to read because his rise to greatness was the result of a single-minded all consuming purpose and focus on playing the game at the highest levels of achievement. This book is a particularly inspiring sports story because the challenge to be the best in the sport or for one's country is so intense. It has some great ancillary reader benefits. In India, family is everything. Through Tendulkar, this book provides an excellent portrait of classic Indian values including dedication, persistence and resilience. He is proud of his achievements but explains them modestly. Reading this book, he seems like such a great, great sports hero, setting such a great example for Indian youth or any youth in any sport anywhere in the world. If you're at all curious about cricket as compared to baseball (with the average winning score seeming so high by comparison) this a great book. There are similarities together with lots of differences. Like an American elevator is called a "lift," cricket players "bowl" rather than "pitch" the ball. And the "pitch" refers to the field rather than how the ball is thrown. If you have a really good knowledge of cricket, you'll especially appreciate how Tendulkar gives quite a few explanations of several technical aspects of the game. Tendulkar's account of his early experience in cricket and the encouragement and support of his dad and mom, his friends and his coaches, makes this a very accessible book to an American audience, especially parents whose children take up baseball. All the spoken Hindi, although there is not a lot of it, is well translated into English. There are four pages of mostly color photos of Tendulkar, his family and highlights of his career. And Tendulkar's career statistics are listed in the back of the book. It is written "Tendulkar is to Cricket what Michael Jordan is to Basketball and Muhammad Ali is to Boxing." His autobiography, "Playing It My Way" will tell you exactly how that came to be. ... show more

    • thank you master for playing it my way
I usually don't go for autobiography but when I heard God of cricket was was brining his own, I could not resist to buy it as soon as it was available. I went for kindle edition to get this book without much of wait for delivery. I have enjoyed each and every bit of chapters starting from his struggle and his passion for cricket from early childhood to saying final goodbye to sports he loved most. I believe now that if you are focussed and determined then you could see your path and could walk across with milestones at every corner. Little master did it with his sheer determination and amazing love for sports but the same time he never forgot his roots and teachings from parents and Guru Acheraker sir. I was amazed to see he came back every time whenever he was pushed against a wall. The very wall created by fans expectation, media frenzies and incredible number of injuries he has suffered. This book was highlight of his 24 years of glorious cricketing career and each chapter was true account of his thoughts. I have been your ardent for years and would remain so till I take my last breath. This book would serve as holy book to relish life of my beloved little master. It is highly recommended for everyone and must for every sachin fan. ... show more

    • Could have been lot better.
It is actually pretty ordinary . I did not get anything substantially new that I have not read elsewhere, which is not saying much anyway. There are anecdotes right through the book . Some of which I enjoyed . Some of his early days in 80s made a good reading . Two things that I became more aware of were He got injured badly right through his career and that bothered him and he struggled with it . Rather unfortunate or may be he was constantly pushing his body. and the second one was he really loved and played for his personal records - centuries , # of tests ..there is a constant theme about these numbers in the entire book . Not to say he was selfish etc ….which he was not , but I just did not think he cared for his personal records as much. That infamous declaration by Rahul which left him stranded @194 is another example. Rahul should not have declared (I did not know that Rahul delayed declaration in sydney test few months ago which may have robbed us of our first series win in aus) but Sachin was livid even after 24 hours !!! when Rahul came over to talk to him . SRT just could not let it go that Rahul tried to send a tough message to Pak that India means business (However bad that call was from Rahul). I just found that strange. Sachin loves his 100s and 200s. For some one with whom he has scored maximum runs with , lack of warmth towards Rahul is conspicuous . He has good words for his knocks but nothing more . There is lot of warmth towards Anil, Sourav, Yuvi, Bhajji, Viru etc. Probably Rahul himself was reserved . He talks about the entire 2011 Eng series and not a word about Rahul’s 3 centuries !!! - may be I am reading too much. I maybe biased because I was surprised by Rahul’s interview by Cricinfo following the release of this book and this incident . Rahul was unusually belligerent when asked if he was looking forward to read the book - he said something like “I am not looking forward to these aspects but I will look to his views on batting skills and how he prepared etc”…. Coming to cricket itself I was surprised as to how so many of his shots were played even before ball was delivered. It was surprising to learn the amount of pre-meditation and out-smarting that goes on !!. This guy lived , breathed cricket - an ultimate Cricket Huccha. ... show more
