At the Nirmal Nursing Center in Dadar, Sachin was born to a Rajapur Saraswat Brahmin family. Family of the Maharsts. His mother, Rajni, worked in the insurance field, while his father, Ramesh Tendulkar, was a Marathi-language novelist and poet. Tendulkar was a young boy who loved tennis and cricket and looked up to American tennis player John McEnroe.
In Shivaji Park in Dadar, his older brother Ajit brought him to meet cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar, but Tendulkar failed to make an impression on the coach because he felt self-conscious about the coach watching him. Ajit asked the coach to give him another opportunity to play, but he watched from behind a tree. Tendulkar performed far better this time and was admitted to Achrekar’s academy. Achrekar was intrigued by Tendulkar’s talent and suggested that he go to Shardashram Vidyamandir School,[25] a school in Dadar that had produced a number of well-known cricket players. Achrekar trained him in the morning and the evening, and Tendulkar put in countless hours of practise. When Achrekar was worn out, he would place a rupee coin on top of the stumps; the bowler who got rid of Tendulkar would receive the coin. Tendulkar would have received a penny from the coach if he had finished the exercise without leaving.
Tendulkar played club cricket in addition to scholastic cricket. He made his Kanga Cricket League debut in 1984 at the age of 11, playing for the John Bright Cricket Club. When training at the MRF Pace Foundation in 1987 to become a fast bowler, Tendulkar was advised to concentrate on his batting by his teacher, Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee. At the age of 16, Sachin made his Test debut against Pakistan in Karachi on November 15, 1989, and he went on to play for India for more than 24 years as an international player.
