Why I want to meet Sachin Tendulkar By Shaan

One person I'd want to meet in history is Sachin Tendulkar because he is the most famous cricket player ever. He started in 1989 against India's old rivals Pakistan when he was only 16 years old, then last year he played his last match vs West Indies in the final match of the test series when it was his 200th test match. His highest score in tests was 248 not out vs Bangladesh in December 2004 at Dhaka. My mother has met Sachin Tendulkar before I was born. He is nicknamed as 'The Little Master'. In One Day International's, his highest score was 200 not out vs South Africa in the 2000s where India made 401 for 3 after 50 overs. He plays the IPL (Indian Premier League). He played for the Mumbai Indians which Corey Anderson from New Zealand is playing for in this year's IPL. His highest score in IPL is 100 not out vs Kochi Tuskers in 2011. He can bowl but he doesn't do it that often. His best bowling statistics in One Day International's was 5 wickets for 32 runs against Australia at Mirpur in 2001 when he got Man of the Match for his superb bowling. In Tests, his best bowling statistics are 3 wickets for 14 runs vs the No. 1 test team South Africa but not against Sachin Tendulkar. In cricket he has scored 85,356 runs altogether in International and Domestic cricket. He is one of my favourite players in all cricket. I definitely want to meet him.
