It was a proud moment for India’s leading batsman Sachin Tendulkar when his 11 year old son Arjun Tendulkar came to net practice with the Indian cricket team. No it didn’t happen yesterday. As a matter of fact, the net practice session took place in January of this year when India was gearing up for their third test match against South Africa in Cape Town.

The recent World Cup 2011 win for India and Sachin’s historical victory lap round Wankhede stadium in Mumbai with his children Arjun and Sara Tendulkar have made us resurface this hidden story to the public eye.

It was one of those rare times when a legendary batsman child is seen practicing with Team India. And it was after all Sachin Tendulkar, one of the leading icons of India as well the world whose son was batting at the net facing some of the best talent of the country!

It was overwhelming to see Arjun batting on crease and his father Sachin bowling. It would have been quite a delight to watch both father son duo on the same field for an international match. But Sachin will soon retire in a couple of years and Arjun Tendulkar still has many years to officially join the team!

Incidentally, Arjun is also a part time spinner just like spinner. He even bowled to Indian paceman S Sreesanth. Also, in the batting line was Virender Sehwag with whom Arjun played a couple of balls.
Future looks promising for this prodigal Tendulkar Junior. After all, it is not every day that you get a chance to attend a net practice session with Team India!

Sara Tendulkar and Arjun Tendulkar, the rising star kids of Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar have showcased their affection and immense pride in their father’s achievements in the international cricketing world. As a matter of fact, it has been witnessed at numerous times in public how much the kids dote on their father Sachin.

Whether it is the various cricket matches being attended by son Arjun Tendulkar [ who recently made his cricketing debut in January 2010] or it is the social welfare events organized by daughter Sara Tendulkar [ she decided to spend her birthday with slum kids]. There are various such instances where one can see the kids alighted with their father’s presence.

The Tendulkars have never shied away from showcasing their bond of togetherness and mutual admiration for each other in the public eye. When Sachin completed his 20 years in international cricket then his kids sent him gifts for celebrating the occasion. His daughter Sara gifted him with a painting while his Arjun sent him personally made greeting cards. This was all sent through their mother and Sachin’s wife Anjali Tendulkar who went to pay her husband a visit in Ahmedabad.

When Sara took part in the 7th Standard Chartered Marathon in Mumbai last year, Sachin gave her a sound advice to focus and run. Sara who became the highest Dream Maker by raising a larger amount of funds for her grandmother’s NGO was elated to hear her father’s praise on this occasion!

Must say Sachin is a family man who is equally supported by his loving wife and adoring ki

Everyone today speak highly of Sachin Tendulkar and what a living legend he has become in the world of international cricket. This Indian batsman has taken the cricketing world with storm so much that he gave sleepless nights to many acclaimed bowlers including Australian spinner Shane Warne.

But imagine what would have happened if Sachin wasn’t given a chance to showcase his performance in front of the professionals. Then the world would have surely lost out on an international icon. This is where Ajit Tendulkar, elder brother of Sachin and his coach came in.

Ajit Tendulkar has always been the driving force in Sachin’s life. He was the one who polished and honed the talent of Sachin. He had always been fascinated by the game of cricket. Since childhood he was in love with cricket. He played throughout his schooling and college period as a captain.

Eventually though he gave up his own aspirations and dreams to pursue is a career in cricket for his younger brother Sachin who by then had started showcasing his gift of bat.

Ajit recognized his brother’s talent during they stay in Sahitya Sahawas colony where they both used to play cricket with other children. Soon Ajit took it upon himself to guide and coach Sachin so as to get him ready for international cricket.

Soon Sunil Gavasakar too spotted Sachin and brought him forward to the world of cricket. But much of the thanks should go to Ajit for his rigorous training and endless coaching.

Ajit also wrote a book on Sachin called The Making of Cricketer. Today he feels proud to see his brother’s fame and status in the world. He is an icon in himself.

With junior Tendulkar i.e. Arjun Tendulkar also showing his inclination towards cricket recently who know uncle Ajit might don up the hat of coach once again to train his beloved nephew!

“I first met him at the Mumbai airport when he returned from his first tour of England in 1990, after scoring his maiden Test ton. In fact, when I first saw him at the airport, I didn’t even know who he was. It was purely by accident!”

In a candid interview Anjali Tendulkar admitted of not recognizing the maestro batsman Sachin Tendulkar when they met for the first time.

Anjali had gone to the airport to meet her mom while Sachin was travelling with the Indian cricket team. It was there that the couple saw each other for the first time whereupon Anjali failed to place him at all on account of her zero knowledge of cricket.

Soon after the couple began dating and Anjali started stocking up on cricket magazines for increasing her GK. Though Sachin never liked to discuss cricket at home she confessed later.

Recalling their courtship days, Anjali Tendulkar narrated an incident wherein Sachin went for movie Roza with her under a disguise wearing a beard and specs. It was on account of Sachin’s rising popularity that they could not move freely in public. However, their love met its final destination in 1995 when they tied the knot after 5 years of courtship period.

She promptly gave up her medical career to provide ample support to Sachin’s flourishing career. With him being busy all the time with his international tours, Anjali needed to be home for the couple’s two kids. As a matter of fact, it is because of their excellent parenting that Arjun Tendulkar their son is speedily improving his cricketing skills!

Anjali confessed it’s a tough job to be the wife of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar but both the kids and she have made peace with it and live their life happily together!

Arjun Tendulkar

Arjun Tendulkar at the mere age of 10 is experiencing tremendous pressure on his small shoulders whenever he lifts up the bat, no matter if it just to swat a fly! The point is as the son of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar he is expected to pursue cricket as his future career and supposedly become a legend like his father himself. It is quite true that you might share the same interests and talent as your parents. But it has also been proved time and again that success of one generation doesn’t always have to be repeated by the succeeding generation. You can look at the example of previous Indian Cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar and the mediocre success tasted by his son Rohan Gavaskar.

The pressure is thus immense on Arjun to outshine his father even when he has shown inkling for cricket since his toddler years. One could find him yelling at the top of his lungs for his father during a match! Recently Arjun Tendulkar made headlines in January when he made his cricketing debut at the U-13 Cadency Trophy from MIGC Club in Pune. Although his team lost the cup, the kid showed the same spirit as witnessed in his father Sachin Tendulkar. On Sachin’s part one can observe that although he might have a desire to see his son follow his path, he doesn’t want to put pressure on the child so soon. Arjun has shown equal interest in Badminton sports as well and he gets regular coaching for cricket along with badminton at the behest of his father.

The future expands large in front of both father and son duo and it is only a matter of time when Arjun Tendulkar will face the real world to battle it out for his sake as well as his father’s sake!

Arjun Tendular is taking part in his first nationwide cricket tournament. He is representing the MIG Cricket Club at the U-13 Cadence Trophy competition held in Pune. The  competition features clubs from all over the country.

Arjun played his first match on Wednesday when he played against Vengsakar Academy where he got out without opening his account.

His second match was against the Cadence Cricket Academy. MIG cricket club fielded first, with Arjun Tendulkar fielding at the deep square leg position.

The ten year old Jr Tendulkar opened the batting for MIG club at the non-striker s end. He faced his first ball in the second over which he completely missed. He scored his first runs on a very fine stoke played with the use of the bottom hand.

However he soon got run out because of a miscommunication with his partner. MIG cricket club finally lost the 30-over match.

Arjun’s mother, Anjali Tendulkar, was there to watch her son play while Sachin scored his 44th hundred in Bangladesh.

met through common friends and fell head over heels for each other before they finally decided to get married.

Anjali Sachin Tendulkar

Nervous about Sachin’s performance when he is playing, Anjali prefers to watch the recording of his matches instead. Infact it is now very easy to be the wife of the master blaster. Anjali hardly gets to spend any time with Sachin

as he is traveling most of the time. However Anjali and Sachin Tendulkar share a wonderful relationship.

She once said “He hasn’t spent Diwali at home since we got married. But it really doesn’t matter that it’s Diwali… any time he spends at home is great!”

Arjun Tendulkar is really lucky to have such a wonderful and caring mother.

Anjali Tendulkar was married to Sachin Tendulkar, son of Ramesh Tendulkar on 1995. Sachin Tendulkar’s first child Sarah (Arjun Tendulkar’s sister) was born on 12th October 1997 is two years elder than her brother Arjun Tendulkar. Arjun is fond of playing tennis and often tries his hand on cricket bat too.

Sachin Tendulkar wants his son to be a good cricketer and play for India like him. To fulfill his dream he arranged a cricket coaching club for him, at a small age of 8 yrs, where he goes along with his dad.

He often joins his father Sachin Tendulkar to some cricket functions/ award ceremonies. Sachin and his family were present in Mumbai when Sachin’s wax statue was unveiled on 14^th April 2009.

He often goes to the stadium to watch his dad playing an international match. He is often seen enthusiastically cheering his dad on the field!
