Cricket fans around the world consider Sachin Tendulkar to be the "God of Cricket". He was a batsman who inspired many youngsters who wanted to become like him.
He has many records, such as the most centuries and runs scored in Test and ODI cricket. His batting record is so great that everyone forgets that he was also a good bowler.
Tendulkar was a unique bowler as he could swing the ball and also bowl spin both off and leg-spin depending on the pitch. The legendary cricketer took 200 international wickets in his career, including 155 ODIs and 44 wickets in Tests.
You may be surprised to know that the batting master also has some bowling records. Let us know Sachin's 3 bowling records.
Tendulkar started his international career at the age of 16 and on 5 December 1990, when he dismissed Sri Lanka's Roshan Mahanama, he became the youngest Indian cricketer to take a wicket in international cricket.
Tendulkar was just 17 years old and 224 days old and broke the record of former Indian spinner Maninder Singh at that time.
This was not his only wicket in this match, he later dismissed Arjun Ranatunga and then scored 53 off 41 balls and won the Man of the Match award.
Defending a score of six runs or less in the last over is a rare achievement. But Sachin has achieved this feat. Tendulkar is the only bowler who has defended less than six runs in the last over.
In 1993, Tendulkar defended six runs against South Africa in the last over to give India a famous victory. He had given only three runs in that over. In a similar situation in 1997, he repeated this feat by taking Australia's last wicket off the first ball of the last over.
Tendulkar has always had the art of breaking the partnership. The only problem in his bowling was the lack of consistency, but in the 2004 Asia Cup, Sachin solved it and performed extremely well.
At that time Sachin took 12 wickets in just six matches at an amazing bowling average of 12.91. Tendulkar took at least one wicket in all five innings where he got a chance to bowl. During this time he broke the record for the most wickets taken by an Indian spinner in Asia Cup, which is still unbroken.
He is the second-highest wicket-taker for India in an Asia Cup after Irfan Pathan (14 wickets).
