Handy facts about Tendulkar:

1) His full name is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, but he goes by the nicknames Little Master, Tendlya, the Little Champion and Master Blaster. His more devoted fans like to call him the “God of Cricket”.

2) He writes with his left hand but, when it comes to cricket, he is a right-handed batsman and a right-handed spin bowler.

3) He is just 5ft 5in tall, considerably shorter than Sharapova. via, theguardian
