  • T.N.E.B.Engineers' Sangam Salutes the Cricketing Genious Sachin Tendulkar for His Fabulous Contribution to the Game of Cricket
    T.N.E.B.ENGINEERS’ SANGAM SALUTES THE CRICKETING GENIOUS SACHIN TENDULKAR FOR HIS FABULOUS CONTRIBUTION TO THE GAME OF CRICKET. WE PRAY FOR THE GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS TO THE GENIOUS AND HIS FAMILY. CONGRATULATIONS FOR MANY MORE SUCCESS AND RECORDS. A life in brief Born: 24 April 1973, Mumbai, India. Family: Married Anjali in 1995, paediatrician and daughter of a Gujarati industrialist. They have two children, Sara and Arjun. Education: Attended Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School in Mumbai. Has been a professional cricketer from the age of 15. Career: Scored a century on his first-class debut for Bombay – at 15 the youngest Indian ever to do so. At 16, in 1989, he made his Test debut against Pakistan, the third- youngest player to play Test cricket. More than 20 years on the statistics abound. Tendulkar's 166 Test matches put him second on the all-time list, two behind Australia's Steve Waugh. Last month he became the first batsman to pass 13,000 Test runs. His 47 Test centuries are a record. (Australia's Ricky Ponting his next on the list with 39.) In one-day internationals he has scored more runs than anybody – 17,598. At 37, there is no talk of retirement and he plans to play in next year's World Cup. Sachin Tendulkar Records, Sachin Tendulkar World Records, Sachins ODI And Test Records.

  • Cheteshwar Pujara Breaks 52 Years Old Record; Amasses Highest Runs In
    09, Feb 2017 Cheteshwar Pujara breaks 52 years old record Cheteshwar Pujara breaks 52 years old record; amasses highest runs in calendar year India's wall, Cheteshwar Pujara becomes the highest run scorer in the calendar year for India, beating the 52 years old record which was there on the name of Chandu Borde. Pujara achieved the feat today on the first day of the test match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad. Before today's match, Cheteshwar had made 1522 runs in just 12 games and needed 82 more runs to achieve the tag of the highest runs scorer in a calendar year. He made 83 runs and broke the record which was held by Chandu Borde. Chandu Borde,the trusted middle order batsman had made 1604 runs in 28 innings of 21 matches with the average of 64.16 with six 100s in 1964- 65. However it was not the first time that Cheteshwar Pujara has threatened to break this record. He in fact came very near to break this record in 2012-13 when he made 1585 runs in a calendar year. In that year too, Pujara was in terrific form. In fact achieved the average 0f 92.23 but he missed the record by just 20 runs. Always hungry for runs,Pujara began this year with bang scoring runs at will. Not only test matches but in Duleep trophy, Ranji Trophy and even in the Irani Cup match against Ranji Trophy champion, Gujarat, he scored the century which helped to lift the Irani Cup. On achieving the feat, Arvind Pujara, the coach and father of Cheteshwar Pujara expressed his happiness but said that records are made to be broken.
