Sachins new style of playing

He was affected by a series of injuries since 2004. Since then Tendulkars batting has tended to be less attacking. Explaining this change in his batting style, he has acknowledged that he is batting differently due to that fact that (1) No batsman can bat the same way for the entire length of a long career and (2) He is a senior member of the team now and thus has more responsibility. During the early part of his career he was a more attacking batsman and frequently scored centuries at close to a run a ball. Ian Chappell, former Australian player, recently remarked that Tendulkar now, is nothing like the player he was when he was a young bloke. However, during the latest tour of Australia in 2008, Tendulkar displayed glimpses of his attacking style with several masterful innings, dominating attacks in a manner reminiscent of his younger days.Sachin the good man Sachin sponsors 200 underprivileged children every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbaibased NGO associated with his motherinlaw, Annaben Mehta. He is reluctant to speak about his charitable activities[citation needed], choosing to preserve the sanctity of his personal life despite the media interest in him.
