Sachin Tendulkar Creating cricketing history with every stroke of his bat. Sachin Tendulkar is an Indian cricketer and arguably the most masterful batsmen in international cricketing history. Dubbed the 'Milestone Man', he holds the most amount of records in the game of cricket. He is the only person to have scored a double century (200 runs) in a One Day International (ODI) match, he holds the record for the most runs scored in international test cricket with a tally of over 14,000 runs, and is the first person to score over 10,000 runs in the ODI category. Tendulkar has been awarded many accolades for his excellence in his sport including the Padma Vibhushan, Rajiv Gandhi Khel award and is the only non-civilian to be given the title of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force. Life Tendulkar was born to humble beginnings in Mumbai. His father Ramesh was a Marathi novelist and mother Rajni was an insurance agent. When Sachin attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Chen- nai, a bowling camp headed by Australian pace bowler Dennis Lillee, Sachin was advised to focus on his batting technique instead. Sachin's batting abilities were fine-tuned by his coach Ramakant Achrekar in Mumbai. A famous story about Sachin's training is that Coach Achrekar would put a Re.1 coin on the top of the stumps behind Sachin when he practiced. The bowler who dismissed Sachin would get to keep the coin but Sachin stood his ground for the entire training session he was allowed to keep it for himself. He claims that the 13 coins he collected are amongst his most prized possessions. Sachin's international cricketing career began at age 16 when he played a test series against Pakistan. Even though he did not score too well in the match, his team mates were impressed by his focus and dedication to the game. By the next year Sachin scored his first test century in international cricket. Although Sachin has set records in both test and one-day cricket, he did not fare too well as a captain. He has served as the captain of the Indian cricket team during two separate time periods, he declined when he was offered it the third time. However, he still plays an integral role in team strategy and is looked up to by all his teammates. Copyright © 2011 Mocomi & Anibrain Digital Technologies Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

The world is enveloped by Covid-19 and no country is free from this pandemic and the resultant economic crisis has aggravated the global community’s hardship. However, I have no doubt India and the world economy will emerge stronger and bounce back quickly and I also strongly believe that every adversity presents multiple new opportunities. The work culture has changed dramatically across all industries. The tyre industry is also riding this wave of change. It has been two months since the Government lifted the lockdown and we are still finding our way to establishing economic levels of production. We have had to deal with Covid-19 cases in our manufacturing plants from time to time and this has affected our production momentum. Fortunately, the demand for tyres, particularly from the Farm and Commercial Sector has not been affected much and we are able to cater to these market segments.
