SACHIN TENDULKAR
PLAYING IT MY WAY – My Autobiography
Publication: 6th November 2014

‘I knew that agreeing to write my story would need me to be completely honest, as that’s
the way I have always played the game. It would require talking about a number of
aspects I have not shared in public before.
So here I am, at the end of my final innings, having taken that last walk back to the
pavilion, ready to recount as many incidents as I can remember since first picking up a
cricket bat as a child in Mumbai thirty-five years ago.’
Sachin Tendulkar
***
The highest run-scorer in the history of international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after playing for an
astonishing 24 years. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he was conferred the Bharat Ratna – India’s
highest civilian award – on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story – from
playing in the by lanes of suburban Mumbai, to 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 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. He will be in the UK later in November to launch the book.

Hodder & Stoughton editor Roddy Bloomfield says, ‘Over the past twenty-five years Sachin Tendulkar’s colossal
batting triumphs for India have singled him out as one of the greatest players in cricket history. He is universally
admired and respected and most impressively remains a very modest man.
I can’t over-emphasize the pleasure it gives me to announce that Hodder & Stoughton will be publishing Sachin
Tendulkar’s inspirational autobiography in November of this year.’
