When you talk of Tendulkar it’s like talking about a Demi God in Cricket where the very name magnetizes even his staunchest of critic. His class is indefinable.

It goes to his credit that even with such phenomenal fame, money, honor he remains a very humble person.

Their has been a number of geniuses in cricket but he is the genius of all geniuses – The Super Genius. The One and only – Sachin Tendulkar.

It is impossible to put his Achievments in one Quiz.

Hence I decided to cover in 3 parts.

This is the first of 3 parts on Modern day Cricket Genius - Sachin Tendulkar.

The Pride of India, Asia and the entire cricket World.

Here you go with the Quiz Questions – FIRST PART

a) What is Tendulkar’s Full Name?

b) When and against whom did he make his Test and One Day debut?

c) How much did he score on his test and One day debut?

d) Who got the wickets of Tendulkar on his Test and One day debut?

2 Who was Tendulkar’s Coach and Mentor in his early life?

3 He was. associated in a monumental partnership in 1988

a) What was the partnership worth and who was his partner?

c Why is the season 1988 unique for Tendulkar?

4

a) When only 14 he was given a gift by another Indian Cricket legend which he treasures even to this day. What gift did he get?

b) At what age did Tendulkar made his first class debut? How much did he score?

Tendulkar is credited with a unique feat on his debut with Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy.

c) What is that unique feat?

5 He was the first overseas cricketer to play for a leading county in England

a) When and for which county did he play?

b) What was his performance in terms of matches played, runs scored and average achieved?

BONUS question (not mandatory)

What do the readers think has been the best inning(s) Tendulkar played in One day/Test so far in his career ?

Their is no right or wrong answer. Each of us is entitled to make our own judgments based on what we have seen.

I will not pass any judgment of mine now as it might influence others.

I will express my choice(s) when I post Answers to this Quiz.

Let‘s see what readers think if they choose to answer(It is optional).

I have just touched the tip of the Iceberg on Tendulkar to just get the ball rolling.

Their will be two more parts on Tendulkar which will cover in depth material on Tendulkar.

Second and Third Part of Quizzes will be posted tomorrow and Sunday or next week.

Good luck and Cheers to everybody!

C) 1988 season was unique for Tendulkar coz he scored a century in every match he played. He is the only person to score century on his Ranji Trophy,Irani Trophy and Duleep Trophy Debut. Cetrainly that was the reason he was drafted in the team next year.

Bonus Question:

I just cannot name any of tendulkar's inning as number 1 or 2 or soo on. Coz for me every run he makes is a joy to watch. So it doesnt mater how much he had scored, i cherish every moment of his batting. So If you wanna ask me waht is his best innig then i would say all he had played from 1989- present.

P.S: I would rather stand in indian stadiums in heat of June, than watching MSD scoring a century with his farmer shots(No offense MSD and his fans,but the Master is so great)

Anybody want to volunteer. Their is no right or wrong opinion.

Hints(s)

The best way to answer the bonus question is to recall 5 best innings you remember of Tendulkar(Test /One day).

It is easy to answer if you own videos of those knocks.You refresh your memory by watching the highlights .I assume many readers dont' buy Videos nowadays as you can see live.

Assuming most readers don't own fair number of Videos (Correct me if I am wrong) on Tendulkar then the following option wil help.

Do a search on U tube to see if you can can watch highlights of
5 Best innings you have chosen on Tendulkar. Narrow it to 3 after watching.

Check again and see if you can narrow it to 2 or 1.

I understand when he has played so many classics innings (majority of high quailty) it will be difficult to narrow it only 3.

The idea behind this question is the fact that he had played so many memorable innings that some of us may not be aware at all of some great knocks. So it would be nice to share with others. So we all become enriched one way or the other.

Hope this hint(s) helps and we will have readers who would not feel shy to express their opinion in the better interest of all.

Cheers!

 

[bladescape]

The best innings from Tendulkar in my opinion was 160-odd in the 03 world cup,I think.

 

[max_dillon2007]

You just cannot single out any of tendulkar's innings. Every runs he scores is special for his diehard fans like us. Thus it doesnt matter to us whether he scores 10 runs or 160 runs. Coz, Its tendulkar.

max_dillon2007 added 7 Minutes and 11 Seconds later...

There aer a few more facts bout tendulkar which are left unanswered. Like, not many people know that he is ambidextrous. He can use his both arms equally. He Bats Right handed and write with his left hand. While fielding if you look closely, you would see that he sometimes throughs with his left hand as if he is a left hander and sometime he throughs with right hand.

Here is one question from me robin.

Q) Who was tendulkar's idol when he was a kid till he met Sunil Gavaskar???

Hint: Sachin had grown his hairs long and curly just to imitate his idol. His idol was exact opposite of Sachin in behaviour while on the field. And the line his idol is remembered to say this to umpire when things were not going his way " You can't be serious 'bout that!".

Good Inputs.Their are many more on Tendulkar that could not be covered. It would take at least 5 quizzes to cover everything. But I tried to cover as many as possible what I thought was best.

Please feel free to share any additional material on Sachin you think would benefit readers.

His idol was American Tennis Legend - John McEnroe.

He actually wore a head-band, sweat-band and sported a tennis racquet to show his absolute loyalty for John McEnroe.

Bonus question renamed Super Discussion

The response to bonus question was just 1 which is not what the question was intended for. Hence I have renamed it as Super Discussion.

This is how it will work:

I will name every day for the next 5 days one of the most classical and memorable innings Tendulakar has played in One day and Test match.

Readers will briefly explain Tedulkar' role in that match.

The person with the best answer is the winner and the second best will be a runner Up.

Answers, Winner and Runner Up will be announced everyday by 10 00 pm EST.

Their will be opportunity to win 5 times in the next 5 days.

In this way we will be able to unfold Tendularkar's best knocks.

Most important knowledge will be shared which is what the Forum is all about.

Here you go.

Discussion1

One day

143 against Australia in 1997-98 at Sharjah (Coca cola cup-Final).

Test Match
