• Description :
  The story of an incredible cricket player and the first athlete to receive India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, is told in A Biography of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. This book chronicles the transformation of a phenomenally gifted young man from a Mumbai middle-class family into a world champion and legendary athlete. Beginning with his early years as a cricket player and his upbringing, the book walks the reader through the highs and lows, moments of exhilaration and pain that one of the greatest athletes of all time faced and overcame during the course of a remarkable career. The commonly stated statement, "In India, cricket is a religion," is taken very seriously in this book. The remarkable life of Sachin Tendulkar is then divided into three sections, detailing his development from 'Prodigy' to 'Preceptor'. Although Tendulkar is still the main focus of the book, it also includes fascinating anecdotes about his mentors, colleagues, protégés, opponents, and superiors. It also describes the hero's influence on the country and his profession. Hero, which is filled with detailed accounts of his best performances and features exclusive images and quotes, is a veritable history of Indian cricket during the shift, the trauma, and the eventual triumph of the 1990s and 2000s.
