In batting, he has reached a stage that others can only dream of. He has destroyed practically every bowling attack in the world. Tendulkar's 'specialties' include the straight drive (seemingly nobody plays the shot better than him), the cover drive, the square cut, the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the delicate leg glance, the late cut, the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to mention the improvisations he keeps coming up with, time and again.Feather in the Cap
He has also won the Coopers and Lybrand Award for Player of the Year in June 1998, backed by an amazing 40% of almost 5000 votes cast during an online survey conducted by Cricinfo, the largest cricket site on the 'net. He has also climbed to the no.1 spot in the very important and prestigious Wisden Cricket ratings based in his test performances in the last two years, scoring at an average of above 57 in 26 tests.
