Sachin Tendulkar's Cricket Facts (http://www.indiabook.com/Sports/Cricket/)
Sachin Tendulkar was given a pair of pads by his cricket hero Sunil Gavaskar when he was a schoolboy - and he made his Test debut for India against Pakistan aged just 15-years old in 1989 wearing those very pads.
Sachin Tendulkar was the first ever foreign cricketer (http://www.megri.com/directory/239/) to play for Yorkshire in 1992. Before then, only players who were born in the county were ever allowed to play for Yorkshire. But the rules were changed and in came a 19-year-old Sachin, scoring 1000 runs at an average of 46.
Unenviable record - Sachin Tendulkar was the first batsman ever to be given out by the third umpire when he was run out against South Africa in the first Test in Durban back in 1992.
