It is a perfect gift for Sachin Tendulkar, when much awaited book on him has come out. “SACHIN A HUNDRED HUNDREDS NOW, written by famous sports Journalist, commentator and writer V. Krishnaswamy, introduce by Rahul Dravid and forwarded by Ramakant Achrekar.
On 16 March 2012, at Mirpur in Dhaka, after opening the innings for India, Sachin nudged the ball to behind square leg in the forty-fourth over to cross the final barrier: a hundred centuries in international cricket. In this account of the master batsman’s incredible journey, sportswriter V. Krishnaswamy takes us through every hundred, every peak scaled on Sachin’s way to the top. Alongside, he captures for us glimpses of the fast changing world around Sachin, and the two sportsmen whose lives and achievements in some ways mirror the Little Master’s: world chess champion Viswanathan Anand and tennis superstar Leander Paes.
With an introduction by former India captain Rahul Dravid and a foreword by Sachin’s first and most famous coach Ramakant Achrekar, this is a book for every sport and Sachin fan.
