Sachin Tendulkar
India Post issued two ₹20 stamps on 14 November 2013 for Sachin Tendulkar’s 200th Test match, in a ₹40 miniature sheet and a ₹320 sheetlet of sixteen. Tendulkar, born in 1973, is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers in history; he made his first-class debut for Bombay at fifteen with a century, played 664 international matches, and retired from all forms of cricket in November 2013 after his 200th Test. He was the first sportsperson to receive the Bharat Ratna. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
