Sachin Tendulkar
Person
Born
Tendulkar scored Test hundreds in every major cricketing country, but the innings that announced him came at Perth in 1992: 114 on the fastest, bounciest pitch in the world, aged 18, against Craig McDermott and Merv Hughes. His 2004 double hundred at Sydney, when he refused to play the cover drive because it kept getting him out, shows the discipline behind the talent.
