He scored:

200 not out

against:

South Africa

at:

Gwalior

on:

24 February 2010

Exam Formula

200 → South Africa → Gwalior → 2010*

Why Was the 200* Historic?

Before this innings, no male batter had reached 200 in a men's One Day International.

Tendulkar's:

200 not out

therefore created a new benchmark in men's ODI batting.

Later, other batters also crossed the 200-run mark, but Tendulkar remains historically important as the first man to do so.

India won the ICC Cricket World Cup by defeating:

Sri Lanka

in the final at:

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

on:

2 April 2011

Tendulkar was part of the victorious Indian team.

The victory was particularly significant because it came at his home ground in Mumbai.

Exam Formula

Sachin + 2011 → World Cup Champion

2011 World Cup Performance

Tendulkar was also a major run-scorer during India's victorious campaign.

He finished as:

India's leading run-scorer in the tournament

and the second-highest overall.

Thus his 2011 World Cup achievement was not merely being part of the squad; he made an important batting contribution to India's campaign.

2012

His final Test match was played in:

November 2013

against:

as:

ICC Cricketer of the Year

This was another major international recognition of his performance.

ICC Hall of Fame

• 51 Test centuries,

• 463 ODIs,

• 18,426 ODI runs,

• 49 ODI centuries,

• 100 international centuries.

Batting Style

Tendulkar was a:

Right-handed batter

He was technically versatile and succeeded in different conditions around the world.

He was particularly famous for strokes such as:

• straight drive,

• cover drive,

• back-foot punch,

• upper cut,

• paddle sweep.

His:

straight drive

became especially closely associated with his batting style.

Bowling

Although primarily remembered as a batter, Tendulkar could also bowl.

He bowled:

• right-arm off-spin,

• leg-spin,

• medium pace

at different points in his career.

Therefore, describing him only as someone who “never bowled” would be incorrect.

Nicknames

Tendulkar is associated with several popular names.

Master Blaster

One of his most famous nicknames.

Little Master

A popular cricketing description associated with him.

God of Cricket

A popular fan-given description.

Important Exam Note

“God of Cricket” is a popular nickname, not an official sporting title.

For formal educational writing, Master Blaster or Little Master is generally more precise.

Sachin and Don Bradman

Australian batting legend:

Sir Donald Bradman

famously admired Tendulkar's batting and observed similarities in their styles.

The association contributed to Tendulkar's international reputation, although comparisons between players from different eras remain subjective.

For examination purposes, remember the historical association rather than treating such comparisons as statistical proof that one player was definitively “better.”
