Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific run maker of all time and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses: anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots. he plays some beautiful strokes as Punch through covers, Upper cut, Paddle sweep.  

The strokes that make him:

Punch through covers

This is a special technique for sachin.This is the strokes that created the initial aura around Sachin.Like other  great batsmen, he has home driving, both on the front foot and back. But he soon patented his own shot: the punch through covers. The ball needs to be just short of length, around the off-stump. He rocks back, and still as a mountain, he hits it usually on the up. His head is absolutely still and the balance near perfectly.

Upper cut

Many other players play this strokes but When a fiery bouncer comes near at him, he simply withdrew from the line and with a gentle tap helped the ball sail over the third man boundary. It was as audacious as it was cheeky. It was also born on the spur of the moment. He play this types strokes very quickly.

 Paddle sweep

It’s a another special Technique for sachin, probably a far cousin of the sweep. He devised this to counter the left-arm spinner, after giving up the lofted shot over long on. Anything pitched on the leg-stump, or further away, he hits it to the fine-leg boundary with the bat perpendicular to the ground. He goes down on his knees and whips it with so much power, past the wicket-keeper, that you can almost call it a high-risk shot. Little amount of great players try to attempt it.
