Sachin Tendulkar made an immediate impact on the cricket world at the tender age of 16 in 1989. For the next 24 years he went from strength to strength and even in his teens was recognized as one of the world's greatest batsmen. By the end of his career in 2013 he had cemented his place as one of cricket's all-time greats.

This best-selling biography was first released in 2002, followed by the second and third editions in 2010 and 2012. The Collector's Edition marks the master's 50th birthday, a decade since his retirement.

Prolific author Gulu Ezekiel pens a compelling account of Sachin the man and the legend. He tracks him from his childhood and follows him on his meteoric rise to international stardom. With meticulous attention to detail, Ezekiel reconstructs the crucial matches and events that have marked Tendulkar's glittering career.
