Sachin-The Vulnerable God

book synopsis/description:

Sachin-The Vulnerable God, it is basically a pictorial biography of the cricketer. I have attempted at putting together a number of snaps that more or less define the man, his international career, his accolades, the endorsements and last but not the least his family. Various snaps and news items have been allocated to the different sections mentioned within the book to make the presentation more relevant and effective. Along with photos, there are some articles especially in the Endorsements section that talk of the uniqueness of Tendulkar as a brand endorser. The section called Finale which is about the last game of his career played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, I have included couple of interesting and extremely captivating news items featured in the dailies. Finally the Epilogue section is about the farewell speech delivered to the people of the country by Sachin Tendulkar that defines his character and makes me proud to think that I have been fortunate enough to witness the international career of this personality in its entirety. In conclusion, I will like to mention that this book is my personal tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, the most dynamic cricketing personality of the contemporary era and it is a very humble way of saying ‘Thank You’ to him for making cricket the most sought after avenue of entertainment among billions for over two decades.
