Hero: The Saga of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

A legend. A phenomenon. The very heartbeat of Indian cricket.

Hero: A Biography of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar chronicles the extraordinary journey of a young boy from a middle-class Mumbai household who went on to become one of the greatest cricketers of all time and the first sportsperson to receive India’s highest civilian honor—the Bharat Ratna.

From his early days wielding a bat with childlike wonder to his evolution into a masterful champion, this book takes readers through the ecstasy of his triumphs and the agony of his setbacks. It meticulously explores the pressures, expectations, and unwavering dedication that shaped the man who became synonymous with cricket itself.

Structured in three sections—charting his rise from ‘Prodigy’ to ‘Preceptor’—this biography not only celebrates Tendulkar’s genius but also offers rare glimpses into his relationships with teammates, mentors, adversaries, and admirers. Packed with riveting accounts of his greatest innings, rare photographs, and insightful anecdotes, Hero serves as both a tribute to the Master Blaster and a vivid retelling of Indian cricket’s transformative years.

For every cricket lover, for every Sachin devotee, this book is more than just a biography—it is the story of a nation’s undying love for its greatest hero.
