A video of Sachin Tendulkar, meeting youngsters, sharing stories from his cricketing journey.
When asked, who was Tendulkar’s role model, he replied, “When I was your age, I adored Sunil Gavaskar. I admired his dedication, focus and determination. I have always wanted to be like him. With reference to players from other nations, I admire Vivian Richards for his aggressive batting, which looked effortless. He effortlessly hit balls that would go at speeds of 80 to 100 miles per hour. What he had was sheer talent. The opposition would think twice before bowling to him. I always wanted to be like him, but it is difficult to match him. However, I still dream of getting somewhere close to both of them.”

The Kolkata Knight Riders kicked off the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2013 with a convincing six wicket victory over the Delhi Daredevils. It was a complete team effort although the scorecard may suggest stellar performances from Sunil Narine and Gautam Gambhir. Narine’s four for and Rajat Bhatia’s miserly spell limited Delhi to 128 and Gambhir’s effort, with a solid 42, set up the win for the defending champions.
Earlier, Kolkata captain Gambhir won the toss and elected to bowl first in front of some passionate support at the Eden Gardens.

A video highlights of Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's five wicket-haul against Pakistan at Kochi, which guided India to a famous win.
According to the Times of India, almost seven years to the day of his first five-wicket haul, Tendulkar returned to the venue hoping to score some runs.
But he managed just 4 before being caught and bowled. Still, India put up 281 thanks to tons from Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag.
Early strikes from L Balaji and Ashish Nehra reduced Pakistan to 64/4 before Tendulkar completed the demolition job by getting Inzamam bowled for 37 and then going through the rest of the lineup to help India take a 1-0 lead, the report added.
It is a team that has often threatened to go all the way, but faltered at the final hurdle. Mumbai Indians (MI) have the goods to beat the best on their day and are one of the strongest sides on paper in the Indian Premier League (IPL). For the IPL 2013, they have a new captain – the great Ricky Ponting takes over with the belief of transforming the fortunes of his side. Cricket fans are in for a delightful show as Sachin Tendulkar would play alongside Ponting – seems like a dream isn’t it.
In the batting, Mumbai have had power hitters who can win the game on their own. Rohit Sharma is a very crucial component as he not only can anchor the innings but also play his strokes. Then you have an Ambati Rayudu who continues

The hosts needed only 187 deliveries to chase down their 155-run target, albeit they lost four wickets in the process.
Glenn Maxwell got Australia an early breakthrough to dent India's chase. Murali Vijay (11) went for a suicidal reverse sweep against the spinner that missed his bat and went on to hit the stumps. It was an unnecesary shot and charged up the Australians who were baying for more blood.

Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar is renowned for many trades within the game — be it is batting or bowling. However, the little master is a great fielder as well as demonstrated in this video taken during the IPL's second edition in 2009.
The incident occurred during a match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab. Tendulkar, fielding at short cover, took advantage of a mix-up between the batsmen and the languidness of the non-striker in getting back to his crease.
India is known for its craze for cricket. With people spanning across all ages taking to the maidans (fields) to play the sport 365 days of the year, cricket has all but overwhelmed the 1.2 billion populace.
However, perhaps not as much as this umpire who was caught doing a jig on a cricket field in the midst of a match. From the looks of it, the match looks professional and yet the umpire had no qualms in shaking his tail feathers.
A video highlights of Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's innings of 169 against South Africa at Cape Town, during the tour in 1997.
Meanwhile, the West Indian legendary batsman Brian Lara spoke about the Indian batting maestro Tendulkar at the India Today Conclave held in New Delhi.
"I have always been adamant and will continue to be about Sachin . He has been representing your country since the age of 16, and when at that age, he had the sense to devote his life to the service of Indian cricket, we should all realise that he will also have the sense to decide when to walk away from it," Lara said.
"He is still one of the best batsmen in the side, and if India were to start touring overseas without Sachin , I would
Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been known to bludgeon bowlers all over the park.
In this video, Dhoni hits his signature powerful unorthodox straight drive that hits the stumps at the non-striker's end and yet races away to the boundary.
India had whitewashed England in that particular series, largely due to the brilliant batting performances of skipper MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina.
The Indian skipper has enjoyed a wonderful run in ODI cricket in the last two years and is currently placed at number four position in ICC ODI Rankings for batsmen.
