Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will honor the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar with the Lifetime Achievement Award at its annual award ceremony on 1 February. Sachin, who retired from international cricket in 2013, still owns many such records, which have not been easy for any player to break. The award ceremony will be held at the head office of BCCI in Mumbai. Last year, this prestigious award was given to former cricketer Ravi Shastri and veteran wicketkeeper Farooq Engineer.

Sachin Tendulkar stepped into international cricket at the age of just 16 and soon became an important part of the Indian team. In his career, he played 200 Tests and 463 ODIs, while also participated in a T20I match. In ODIs, Sachin scored 18,426 runs, while in the Test, he has 15,921 runs in his name. So far no player has been able to break the record of 100 international centuries in the history of cricket. In his career of more than two decades, Sachin proved himself in every situation, due to which he is counted among the great cricketers. In 2011, when India won the ODI Cup, he was an important part of the team and was playing the sixth World Cup of his career.

Let us know that BCCI started Colonel CK Naidu Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. Colonel Naidu played first class cricket from 1916 to 1963, which is a unique record of 47 years in itself. After this, he also played the role of Administrator in BCCI. Sachin Tendulkar will be the 31st cricketer to get this award. Earlier, veterans like Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Syed Kirmani and K Srikanth have also received this honor.
