Sachin Tendulkar's Record Breaking Debut On Twitter !!! 0 to 1,00,000 Followers in 33 Hours !!!




I think mostly everybody who is related to India, Indian culture, Indian people, Indian Sports, Cricket, etc… knows about Sachin Tendulkar, but still who are not so fortunate to know him till date, for them I have collected some information through some of the respected websites.
So please take a look at the mind blowing statistics of Sachin!



Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon as well. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses, anticipation.
Batting Averages
Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave 100 50
Tests 166 271 29 13447 248* 55.56 47 54
ODIs 442 431 41 17598 200* 45.12 46 93


Fan following




Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary, a die hard fan of Tendulkar who earned the privilege to get tickets to all home games of India for lifetimeTendulkar's entry into world cricket was very much hyped up by former Indian stars and those who had seen him play. By scoring his first half-century in his second match and his first century aged 17, Tendulkar's consistent performances earned him a fan following across the globe, including amongst Australian crowds, where Tendulkar has consistently scored centuries. One of the most popular sayings by his fans is "Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God".Cricinfo mentions in his profile that "... Tendulkar remains, by a distance, the most worshipped cricketer in the world." During the Australian tour of India in 1998 Matthew Hayden said "I have seen God. He bats at no. 4 in India in Tests."At home in Mumbai, Tendulkar's fan following is so great that he is unable to lead a normal life. Ian Chappell has said that he would be unable to cope with the lifestyle Tendulkar was forced to lead, having to "wear a wig and go out and watch a movie only at night". In an interview with Tim Sheridan, Tendulkar admitted that he sometimes went for quiet drives in the streets of Mumbai late at night when he would be able to enjoy some peace and silence.
