কে ক্রিকেটের সর্বজনীন বস
Cricketers are worshipped like gods in many cricket playing countries. These athletes dedicate their whole lives to make sure they give the best performance on the field, as millions of fans look on at their technique and style of play, cheering them on at every step. Some cricketers are better appreciated than others due to their exceptional skills or charisma, but there is someone whose dominance over this sport surpasses even those who have left remarkable legacies behind. That man is Sachin Tendulkar, widely regarded as ‘the god of cricket’ and universally acclaimed as the boss of cricket.
The Early Years
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was born on April 24th, 1973, in Mumbai, India. From a very young age, his brother Ajit recognised his talent and potential in the game and encouraged him relentlessly. At the tender age of 16 years old, he made his international test debut against Pakistan in Karachi and immediately caught everyone’s attention with his precise footwork, impeccable technique, and perfect timing.
Domination Over The Sport
From then onwards, Tendulkar embarked on a journey that was nothing short of extraordinary. He scored runs almost everywhere he set foot – be it green pitches of England or rough surfaces of subcontinents; no condition seemed too challenging for him. His unique blend of aggressive attack mixed with defensive solidity earnt him a reputation as an indispensable asset for the Indian team.
For close to 25 years since his debut until his retirement in November 2013, Tendulkar has showcased what true grit, passion, dedication and hard work can result in when combined together seamlessly.
Unprecedented Records
Tendulkar exclusively holds several records that speak volume about how dominantly he has ruled this sport – scoring One Hundred International centuries (51 Test, 49 ODI), being the first player to score a double century in ODIs, most Test runs (15921) and ODI runs (18426). His achievements on the field and his formidability against any opposition have led to him being affectionately called – ‘the Master Blaster’ or ‘the Little Master’.

The versatility of his technique demonstrated across various conditioned pitches reflected best when he played for the Indian cricket team. Many Indian cricket enthusiasts recall those glorious moments whenever India was in a tight situation, but Tendulkar would step up to lift the spirits with his remarkable batting skills.
He had seen many highs and very few lows throughout his career. Whether it was hammering Warne in Sharjah or conquering pace attack of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Tendulkar’s skills were immaculate on each occasion.
A Global Phenomenon
His immensely successful journey isn’t only celebrated in India but also around the globe. A testament to this is when Donald Bradman – considered as one of the greatest batsmen – admitted seeing his own reflection while watching Sachin play. Several modern-day cricketers like Ricky Ponting, Virat Kohli, Hashim Amla often express their admiration towards Tendulkar’s impeccable playing style.
Sachin’s influence transcends national boundaries and touches hearts globally. He has become an epitome of hope, hard work, determination and passion that has inspired millions across the border to strive forward and aim high.
That’s entirely why Sachin Tendulkar earns himself the title “Universal Boss of Cricket.” His brilliant plays are engraved vividly in every cricket lover’s heart; it’s no wonder he’s mentioned aloud with immense pride amongst every conversation revolving around cricket. The god-like aura which surrounds Sachin will remain untouchable and unmatchable, and his diligent play on the cricket field will be remembered vividly in coming years.
