Batting superstar Sachin Tendulkar turns 35 on April 24 as he remains modern cricket's most experienced batsman.

The batting great from Mumbai has never looked back after making his international debut in the winter of 1989, when India toured Pakistan.

Since then he has scaled many cricketing heights which every aspiring youngster would crave to achieve.

You name it he has it in his record book. The highest number of Test and ODI runs; the highest number of Test and ODI tons and the list continues.

As Tendulkar enters the 35th years of his career, one hopes he continues to scale greater peaks in the world of cricket.

He has kept the masses entertained by the sheer magic of his batsmanship and has made the cricket arena a world of his own for the past two decades.

May his willow continue to blossom.

Viva Sachin Tendulkar!
