NEW DELHI: On November 15, 1989, a 16-year-old prodigy named Sachin Tendulkar made his international debut against Pakistan in Karachi, setting in motion a cricketing odyssey that spanned an unparalleled 24-year career. Facing a formidable Pakistan bowling attack featuring legends like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, Sachin was dismissed for 15 runs, but little did the cricketing world know that this marked the beginning of a legendary journey.
Regarded as "The God of Cricket," Tendulkar is hailed as one of the greatest batters to have graced the sport. His retirement in 2013 during India's series against West Indies marked the end of a glittering career, during which he became the highest run-scorer in international cricket.
