About the Author and Book :

During his career of 24 years, Sachin Tendulkar ruled Cricket with his brilliant batting. During his playing days, he talked a lot about the game but spoke seldom about his personal life. Although every detail of Sachin’s life has been recorded and told in all forms courtesy the prolific writers, the personal account of Sachin’s life was never shared. But the legend himself has brought his story to the world in the form of an autobiography called ‘Playing it my way’. It is co-authored by Boria Majumdar . This autobiography became an instant hit among readers and entered the Limca Book of Records for being the best-selling adult hardback across both fiction and non-fiction categories. It is published by Hachette India.

The only criteria Sachin kept in mind during writing this book was to stay honest. Hence this book is not just a story of Sachin’s life but is also a very personal and interesting take on his Cricketing career. It summarizes the entire 24 years of Sachin’s life spent on the Cricket ground and also delights the readers with some personal anecdotes. It also talks about Sachin’s relationship with other players and team staff. Sachin has given descriptive narration of some of the best innings played by him and the stories behind it. For all budding cricketers who want to learn the game, this book is an interesting read for knowing the determination and hard work put up by Sachin.

Thus the book, ‘Playing it my way’ is an interesting and engaging account of the Sachin Tendulkar story and reveals a lot about the legend which Is rarely told in public.

Book Description

The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award – India’s highest civilian honour – on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story – from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill.

When a boisterous Mumbai youngster’s excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India’s batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation’s devoted followers.

Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style – scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai.

His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure – from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain.

Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other.
