Sachin Baby
On December 17, 1989, the day before 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar played his first one-day international, a family in the farming town of Thodupuzha in central Kerala celebrated the birth of a son. The father, PC Baby, spent part of the day giving thanks in church, then settled down to watch the cricket. “We never imagined how big Tendulkar was going to be. But there was something very impressive about him. I wanted my son to grow up to be like him,” said father Baby so the newborn was called Sachin. Fast forward 20 years, and he made his first-class debut for Kerala against Andhra in the Ranji Trophy, scoring 32. A left-handed batsman, unlike his namesake. There is plenty of time to improve for Sachin Baby.
