He reached another major milestone in 2008 by surpassing Brian Lara's mark of 11,953 Test runs.

At the age of 14 years, he scored 326 runs out of a world-record stand of 664 in a school match. As his accomplishments grew, he became a sort of cult figure among Mumbai schoolboys.

Wasting little time living up to the lofty expectations, the 15-year-old Sachin Tendulkar scored a century in his domestic first-class debut for Bombay in December 1988, making him the youngest player of cricket. Eleven months later, he made his international debut for India against Pakistan, where he famously refused medical assistance despite getting hit in the face by Waqar Younis.

In August 1990, the 17-year-old Sachin delivered a match-saving 119 not out against England to become the second-youngest player to record a century in Test match. Other celebrated early highlights included a pair of centuries in Australia in 1992, one of them coming at the fast WACA track in Perth. Underscoring his rapid rise to the top of his sport, in 1992 Sachin became the first international player to sign with England's storied Yorkshire club.

After finishing the 1996 World Cup as the event's leading scorer, Tendulkar was named captain of the Indian national team. However, his Incumbency marked one of the few blights on an otherwise illustrious career. He was relieved of the responsibility in 1998 January, and briefly took over as captain again in 1999, but overall won just four of 25 Test matches in that position.



 In 2001, Tendulkar became the first player to score 10,000 runs in One Day International (ODI) series, and the following year he surpassed the great Don Bradman on the all-time list with his 30th Test century. And he was again the leading scorer during World Cup play in 2003, earning Man of the Series honors despite India's loss to Australia in the final match.

Tendulkar's dominance of his sport continued even as he moved into his 30s. He delivered an unbeaten score 241 against Australia in January 2004, and notched his record-breaking 35th century in Test series in December 2005. In October 2008, he entered the record books again by blowing past Brian Lara's mark of 11,953 Test runs in the test matches. On the heels of becoming the first player to post a double century in ODI play, and he was named the 2010 International Cricket Council Cricketer of the Year.



In April 2011, Tendulkar chalked up another great milestone when he and his team propelled India to a World Cup victory over Sri Lanka, the first in his long career. During the tournament, he again proved he was in a class by himself by becoming the first batsman to score 2,000 runs and six centuries in World Cup competition.

Tendulkar played his 200th and final Test match in November 2013, finishing with a jaw-dropping collection of statistics that included more than 34,000 runs and 100 centuries in international play.
