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! :).

focus on his batting instead.
