Playing It My Way My Autobiography (Marathi, paperback , Sachin Tendulkar, Deepak Kulkarni)

The greastest run-scorer in the history of cricket, SACHIN TENDULKAR retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time,he received the Bharat Ratna Award-India's highest civilian honour on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulker tells his own remarkeble story-from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into cricket,the result was record breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the carrer of cricketing phenomenon . Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of india's batting lineup, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers.

Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations, never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style-scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai.

His many achivements with india include winning the World Cupand topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure-from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press ,especially during his unhappy tenure as captain. Despite his celebroty status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man,devoted to his family and his country. Now, for thefirst time,he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other.
