About this ebook
'I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar.' -Shane Warne
Readers are in love with Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography:
'A must read for anyone who knows cricket' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'An idol . . . An inspiration' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A great book by one of the all time greats' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Brings back so many wonderful memories'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'This book has made me feel proud to be a lover of the game and has inspired me to succeed in everything I do.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The story of the greatest cricket player of all time, told in his own words.
__________
The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award - India's highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill.
When a boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers.
Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style - scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai.
His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain.
Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other.

Hello Sir, Extremely Overwhelmed to write this Review First of all I am not a Sports Personality neither have Sports Background in my Professional life,but just like every other Bharatiya (Indian 🇮🇳) loves to watch Cricket, so do I watch cricket sometimes when a True Fan is Watching Cricket on Television. The Auspicious Autobiography "Playing It My Way" is worth Reading. I refer "Playing it my Way"as an Auspicious Autobiography because I read it when I was facing Extreme Depression (Psychotic Depression), Painful REMORSE of having Mental Disorders and Painful Unexplained, Substance Induced PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorders). I read this Auspicious Autobiography whenever I am Depressed or feel that my Mind is going to Grip me with PTSD. I refer "Playing it my Way" as an Auspicious Autobiography because your Valuable Suggestion that a Person should like, play at Least One Sport in your Life helped me a Lot to Tackle Psychotic Depression and Substance Induced PTSD. I started watching my Favourite Sports "Wimbledon and Show Jumping" I have always been a part of Lower Level, Mid Level Management and always Loved to be an Individual Contributor (Back Office) in my Professional Life. But I carry a HUGE Mental Blockage when it comes to Team Management. So you may understand Better how an Individual Team Player feels Overwhelmed when a dedicated Team Player is allowed to contribute at Individual Level. To be Honest I never liked to Lead a Team in my Professional Life. So Thankyou Sir for Authoring "Playing it my Way". I comme Day,14th NoveN2, my Earlier Comments which I had

Part family album, part office diary, the book has no perspective on the times of Tendulkar. Match fixing saga skipped altogether. Stenographer/co-author Boria's boring influence too evident in tedious prose. This book needs a revised edition, a genuine autobiography, not an annotated Wisden almanac.

About the author
Born in Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut in Pakistan at the age of 16 in 1989. One of the most gifted and entertaining batsmen to have played international cricket, he scored more runs and made more centuries than any other player in history - in both Tests and ODIs. He made his first Test century at the age of 17, at the age of 36 he became the first player to make a one-day double century and in 2012 he scored his 100th international hundred. With India he won the World Cup in 2011 and reached the top of the world Test rankings in the same year. In 2013, he retired from cricket after playing his 200th and final Test in front of his home crowd in Mumbai.
