Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar is inarguably the biggest name that Indian cricket has ever produced. He is being called as the 'God' for his brilliant performance on the field for a period of 20 years.
Sachin Tendulkar was already the most important player of the Indian team in 1996 itself. He was expected to hold the batting of the Indian team together and was their most trusted batsman.
Sachin had a pretty decent series as he scored two hundreds and a half-century in that tour. His performance was overshadowed by the performance of the debutants in that series. This tour laid the foundation of the Indian Middle order which went on to serve Indian cricket for a long time.
Sachin Tendulkar ended his illustrious career in 2013 at his home ground of Wankhede, Mumbai. He was nominated as a member of the upper house of the Indian Parliament in 2012. He is presently a mentor of the Mumbai Indians team in IPL.
