One of the prodigal batsmen India and the world has witnessed, Sachin Tendulkar last donned the national outfit in 2013, pulling a curtain to his long and illustrious career that spanned close to twenty-four years. Ever since his debut in 1989, a then 16-year-old batsman showed immense promise, and quite rightly as he evolved into one of the legends of the game of cricket.
