Winning Like Sachin: Think & Win Like Tendulkar

by Devendra Prabhudesai

Sachin Tendulkar achieved a lot more than victories, runs and records in a career that spanned nearly a quarter of a century. He was born with talent, but he proved that talent alone amounted to nothing in the long run unless it is coupled with hard work. His quest for perfection and commitment to his team and country ensured that he had an outstanding career as a cricketer, which culminated with the Government of India conferring the Bharat Ratna—the country’s highest civilian honour—on him. Winning like SACHIN: Think & Succeed like TENDULKAR offers the winning attributes that make Sachin an inspiration for generations. The book spotlights his penchant for taking initiative, utilizing opportunities, handling crises, perseverance, and his knack of leading front the front. These qualities make him the ideal role model for all professionals wishing to make a mark in their field.

‘Winning like Sachin’ unravels the attributes that make Sachin what he is – an inspiration for generations. He is looked upon as a role model. A man who achieved a lot more than professional success. He is an inspiration for not only the new coming cricketers but the one who wants to achieve big in his life. His ideas and principles never let him give up after failures but give him the strength to get up again. His never give up spirit and dedication towards the sport make him one of the greatest cricketers of the world.

The book is a great initiative to learn from his life and also a good book for his fans and followers. His life is an inspiration for everyone. His commitment to excellence yielded success. An institution himself there is a lot one can learn from his life. A learning experience, inspiring and helpful short read.

IPL has already started and whole of India and World is in cricketing mode currently. There could have been no other book that could have entertained me more than a book written on Cricket. Fortunately, I got my hands of this wonderful short book written by Devendra Prabhudesai based on none other than God of Cricket- Sachin Tendulkar. The name of the book is “Winning Like Sachin” which also has the tagline of “Think & Succeed Like Tendulkar”. The book does not discuss Sachin’s cricket and records but the personality that Sachin Tendulkar is. Author discusses about certain incidents from Sachin’s on and off field decisions and attitude and gives us the point that we should remember to implement and follow in our lives.

The book is written in a very simple language which makes it easy for it to reach audience of any age group. It is most specific and important for the pupil in schools and colleges to read this book to understand the important points that can change their attitude towards seeing and approaching life. I, even at the age of 28, found this book very interesting and matured. I liked the research author has done on the life of Sachin Tendulkar which makes him discuss incidents which not every author or journalist talks about the legend. As I am already reading another book on Sachin written by the same author, I found that many paragraphs are directly picked up from it and there’s not much change per se. So, this book is like a summary of that particular book which is 400+ pages.

The book is divided into different chapters which makes it easy for the reader to read one segment at a time and grasp the learnings. The book can be easily completed within 2.5-3 hours in a single sitting. Overall, the book is a great thing to gift anyone younger than you getting groomed. As everyone admires Sachin Tendulkar, knowing what he followed or displayed in his conduct makes it easy to follow because it automatically inspires you than words spoken by any other person around you. I give this book 3.5* out of 5.

Thanks.

Book’s title- Winning like Sachin: Think & Succeed like Tendulkar
Publisher- Rupa Publication
Year of publication- 2018
Author- Devendra Prabhudesai
Price- Rs.195/-

This book is a self-help book inspired by Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s life. Tendulkar is a legendary cricketer who once ruled the international cricket platform and rules our hearts still. He started his career at the age of twelve and became a national team player at the age of eighteen. The author Devendra Prabhudesai is an experienced biographer, who has written four more books on famous cricketers including the biography of Sachin titled ‘Hero’.

This particular book is excellent for readers who are interested in reading self-help books and non-fiction books. It’s a short read, I completed this book in three days and I really loved the way the author has portrayed Sachin’s inspirational journey and personality. The chapters are well planned and systematically organized.

Now, coming to the narration part, when you read this book, you feel very connected with the plot and how swiftly the story continues to different chapters from Sachin’s childhood to his splendid career and his spirit of never giving up. This book doesn’t talk about his career but his personality and how he managed to tackle high and low points in his career and how to be successful like Sachin.

The language of the book is very easy to understand, there is hardly any complicated vocabulary used in the book which makes it an easy to read book for people of every age group.

This is a great read for school and college students who can be inspired by Sachin’s life and his powerful personality.

An interesting feature about this book is the ‘Learning Tip’ between the chapters which provide some tips from Sachin’s life. I have read his book ‘Hero’ which is a complete life story of Sachin and in this book; some parts are as same as the previous one, but still, the calibre of the author is much appreciated.

It’s definitely a quick read 112 pages long but it’s quite motivating and it’s useful for students who want to develop a good personality and wish to know about Sachin’s personality, his struggles and rising.

I would rate this book: 5 as I couldn’t find a reason to give a low rating for this wonderful self-help book.
