Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is an Indian former international cricketer who captained the Indian national team.

In 2012, a month short of his 39th birthday, he became the first player to score 100 international centuries, which, like Bradman’s batting average, might be a mark that lasts for ever. Later that year, though, he announced his retirement from ODIs after a disappointing 18 months in international cricket.

Sachin has been lauded with Arjuna Award in 1994, Khel Ratna in 1997, Padma Shri in 1998 and Padma Vibhushan (2008) honours. He is the only sportsperson to be conferred the Bharat Ratna in 2013.

Mumbai, February 2025 – Indian cricket’s ‘Master Blaster’ Sachin Tendulkar has once again been lauded for his unparalleled contribution to the sport. At the prestigious BCCI Naman Awards 2025, Tendulkar was awarded the COL CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, a recognition of his incredible journey and lasting legacy in Indian cricket.
