On the tour of Australia to India in 2006-07, Shane Warne rated Sahcin Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar also holds the record of scoring more than fifty centuries combining all format of the game.

With such greatness in his batting ability Indian selectors decided to give him the captaincy in 2005 but without much success, so he left the captaincy job and decided to concentrate on his batting.

Sachin Tendulkar on his day can destroy any bowling attack; the recent example was in the ODI series against Australia when India was chasing 351 runs for victory. With wickets falling around he decided to take the fight to the opposition and almost single handedly guided India home with his blistering knock of 175 runs of 141 balls but unfortunately for India he got out at crucial stage of the game and India lost the game by 3 runs and later went on to loose the series.
Till the last World Cup he has played in five World Cups and finally in his sixth world cup in 2011 his dream came true of lifting the Cup.
