Another name, and another different sport. This time, we're in the world of cricket, which is a sport that's never really taken off in America. In many other parts of the world - especially India, home of Sachin Tendulkar - it's the biggest sport there is. And Tendulkar is one of the very best ever to play the game.
Such is Tendulkar's skill as a batsman, his nickname within the sport is simply 'The Master'. By the time of his retirement, he had broken a number of all-time records, including being the first player in history to score over 14,000 career runs. With Tendulkar at the peak of his powers, India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011. His greatness was appreciated by fans of opposition teams - even the notoriously hostile Australian crowds greeted Tendulkar with warm applause whenever he played in their country. It was once a common sight at cricket grounds to see banners reading "Cricket is my religion, and Sachin is my God".
