What makes Sachin Tendulkar the legend!

Sachin Tendulkar is not only a great player but also he is an institute of cricket.some may say him master blaster,some may say little genius,some may say india's pride&some may say him God.

These are just a few nicknames of the legend mating maestro but Have you ever thought what made him such a player?!!here is one of many inspiring stories of Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar was 12 or13 years old when he led mumbai under 15 team to ahmedabad.The boys went off to sleep after getting there at around 4:30 in the morning.At 6:00am officials learnt that sachin was missing.

The team manager& coach went searching for him &finally found him on the terrace-practising!!he was bouncing the ball of the wall with his left hand and then quickly gripping his bat with his both hands to practise his shots.sleep was not important practice was.And such was his concentration that he failed to notice the presence of the two officials.This was just one of many.It shows how much he is hungry for runs&how much he hate failure.

some may think that it was his initial stage of his career that's why he might be worried of failuer.But those who think that might have forgotten the battle between two great sachin tendulkar Vs Shane warne.

Every one knows how sachin practised to face shane warne coming round the wickets. That practised brought a new shot in cricket world.which was not played
offen."Paddle Swipe" he used it very effectively along with those "charging down strokes" &spinning legend was helpless in that battle.

These are examples how he prepares before the match.how he read the minds of the bowlers &how much competitive he is!!!

"Sachin Tendulkar is god giffted"It is true but there is more of hardwork&decipline which made him A Legend.A True Legend!!!!

Sachin Tendulkar's blood used to prepare special edition of his memoirs

In a bizarre marketing strategy, a luxury book publisher is bringing out a special edition biography of Tendulkar with pages made from his blood.
The "blood edition", which also includes unpublished family pictures and Tendulkar's thoughts about his career, weighs 37kg and contains 852 pages all edged in gold leaf, the Guardian reports.

Due to be released next February, The Tendulkar Opus has a price tag of £49,000. Only 10 copies will ever be made and all have been pre-ordered.
"The signature page will be mixed with Sachin's blood – mixed into the paper pulp so it's a red resin. It is what it is – you will have Sachin's blood on the page," publisher Kraken Media's chief executive Karl Fowler told the paper.
"It's not everyone's cup of tea, it's not to everyone's taste and some may think it's a bit weird. But the key thing here is that Sachin Tendulkar to millions of people is a religious icon. And we thought how, in a publishing form, can you get as close to your god as possible?" The book also showcases the batsman's DNA profile, which was obtained from a swab of his DNA.
All proceeds from the sale of the books will go to Tendulkar's charitable foundation to help build a school in Mumbai.
One thousands cheaper copies will be made, selling for about £2,000 each.
