In this book Sachin talks about his journey from his first Test match at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the final farewell. He was awarded with India's highest civilian honor, Bharat Ratna Award, on the day of his retirement. The book talks about how a young Mumbai school boy channeled his energies into the game. As a result of this he was the record breaker batsman in school. Sachin is the highest run scorer in the world?s history. He always scored more runs and made more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. For him cricket was much more than scoring runs. Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a great kook through his personal life and gives a frank account of his sporting life. About the author Sachin Tendulkar is the former Indian cricketer and the captain who is known for as the greatest all time batsman. He took up cricket at the age of elevenTendulkar received the Arjuna Award in 1994 for his outstanding sporting achievement, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 1997, India's highest sporting honour and the Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan awards in 1999 and 2008, respectively, India's fourth and second highest civilian awards. After a few hours of his final match on 16 November 2013, the Prime Minister's Office announced the decision to award him the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award. He is the youngest recipient to date and the first ever sportsperson to receive the award. He also won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sachin The Kid with Kingdom of his Own
Reviewed in India on 17 November 2014

Finished going through every pages of my Holy Book Playing it My Way the Autobiography of my God. The respect, Love, Devotion i had for him is just multiplied by infinite. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of reading for the first time ever in my life, it took only 2 day's and night for me to complete the book of nearly 480 pages.
Top three phases of book I liked is:
1. When Sachin woke up in a middle of his surgery in April 2003. Went under knife on his left hand ring finger due to a calcification, he was so worried surgery will be made on his palm and the will force him to change the way he grips the bat.
‪#‎OnHisOwnWords‬ : I was so obsessed with this issue
that I woke up during the surgery and asked them to show me where they had made the incision. Dr
Joshi later told me that they were all surprised to see me awake despite the anaesthesia. The doctors
showed me that my palm had been left untouched and told me to calm down and allow them to carry
on. Satisfied, I instantly drifted back to sleep.
2. When he had tummy upset on the eve of a match against Srilankan's.
#OnHisOwnWords : Here I am a bit embarrassed to reveal a very personal secret
relating to the Sri Lanka match. On the eve of the match I had a bad stomach and was feeling
dehydrated. This happened because I had not yet fully recovered from the cramp I had suffered while
playing Pakistan and as a result had had a lot of isotonic drinks. I also added a teaspoon of salt to the
energy drinks, thinking it would help the recovery, and that caused a tummy upset. In fact, the situation
was so bad that I had to bat with tissues inside my underwear. I even had to go back to the dressing
room during one of the drinks breaks and was feeling extremely uncomfortable in the middle. I
somehow scored 97.
3. On last day of his career, after the final speech where Kholi came to meet Sachin and the gesture he did when Kholi touched his feet.
#OnHisOwnWords : As I was sitting by myself back in the dressing room, Virat walked up to me again. I could see tears in
his eyes. He held out his hands and said his dad had given him these threads, the kind that Indians
wear around their wrists for good luck, and he had always wondered who he would give them to. It
had to be someone very special. Then he handed them to me before touching my feet as my younger
brother. I was speechless. I held him tight and said, ‘Arre tu yeh kya kar raha hain? Tujhe yahan
nahi, yahan hona chahiye.’ (What are you doing touching my feet? You should be giving me a hug.) I
couldn’t say another word because I felt choked with emotion. A lump had formed in my throat and
finally I had to ask Virat to leave, knowing I would burst into tears if I tried to say anything else. It
was a gesture I can never forget and I wished Virat all the success in his career.
* This Showed his love towards the sport, his never give up attitude and humility even after reaching the farthest peak.
* All those cries in the Bathroom were just wonderful to know the Legend who conquered the world has a kid inside him.
Love you Sachin Tendulkar on the whole the eagerness to touch your feet just went to its peak. Proud to a ‪#‎Sachin_Devotee‬

Well being SACHIN admirer; this note will be slightly bias. Got many links from web-world to download the book. But when I saw APANALAYA message “The author’s proceeds from this book will be used to support two charitable causes: the alleviation of malnutrition in children and provision of clean water to the underprivileged” This prompted me to buy this from AMAZON Rs.586/- Order ID 403-0333455-3913113. !
Well this is how is the book is; full of statistics of his illustrious achievement. For most part it feels that you are watching / reading SACHIN’S life in text format. It is so simple, plain, and straight from the maestro who just tried to attempt to fulfill the teachings of his father that “It is important to be a better human being then better cricketer.”
The controversy hungry media or rowdy fans looking for some inhuman bravado or greedy followers urging to achieve more and more may find themselves in similar mood that they experienced after SACHIN getting out soon.
I have followed his cricket life closely and was wondering what would have the great man be thinking at those key moments (which could be cracking a great shot or walking back to pavilion). I got fairly good answers and just explanation of all those gestures, unheard muttering to his colleagues, and silence of his mind after being outdone legitimately or not.
Yes he put down his feeling very honestly of most of those scenes that I watched on TV. I was quite satisfied that these thoughts were quite close to the expectations and similar to what we use to discuss after the game.
Thank you SCHIN for sharing your hardship of injury, anguish for bad umpiring, tears from failures, victim of many human errors, sense of loss, along with the happiness of personal circle, contended and satisfied feeling of accomplishing the life at it best. Acknowledging the support and co-operation from people that were with you and in return giving some glorious moments to cherish for ever.
Thank you dear SACHIN, Take Care, All the best.

Narration walks you through Sachin's journey and offers his perspective of things. It has been an emotional ride reading the book in a span of a week. I have grown up watching him play and excel like no one else in this career. It is fulfilling that Sachin was able to finish his career on a very high note after being a part of the No.1 Test team, ODI champion, IPL champion, CLT20 champion and of course, Ranji champion. A well deserving reward for the dedication and commitment he had in this profession. Thanks for writing your story, Sachin.

5.0 out of 5 stars India's Most Revered Cricket Icon Of All Time Tells His Story
Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2022

Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography "Sachin Tendulkar: Playing It My Way" is amazing to read because his rise to greatness was the result of a single-minded all consuming purpose and focus on playing the game at the highest levels of achievement.

This book is a particularly inspiring sports story because the challenge to be the best in the sport or for one's country is so intense.

It has some great ancillary reader benefits. In India, family is everything. Through Tendulkar, this book provides an excellent portrait of classic Indian values including dedication, persistence and resilience. He is proud of his achievements but explains them modestly. Reading this book, he seems like such a great, great sports hero, setting such a great example for Indian youth or any youth in any sport anywhere in the world.

If you're at all curious about cricket as compared to baseball (with the average winning score seeming so high by comparison) this a great book. There are similarities together with lots of differences. Like an American elevator is called a "lift," cricket players "bowl" rather than "pitch" the ball. And the "pitch" refers to the field rather than how the ball is thrown. If you have a really good knowledge of cricket, you'll especially appreciate how Tendulkar gives quite a few explanations of several technical aspects of the game.

Tendulkar's account of his early experience in cricket and the encouragement and support of his dad and mom, his friends and his coaches, makes this a very accessible book to an American audience, especially parents whose children take up baseball.

All the spoken Hindi, although there is not a lot of it, is well translated into English.

There are four pages of mostly color photos of Tendulkar, his family and highlights of his career. And Tendulkar's career statistics are listed in the back of the book.

It is written "Tendulkar is to Cricket what Michael Jordan is to Basketball and Muhammad Ali is to Boxing." His autobiography, "Playing It My Way" will tell you exactly how that came to be.
