The Daily Telegraph's Oliver Brown profiles the man on the threshold of an unprecedented 100th international century, after catching up with him at the quotidian confines of Kenton Cricket Club.
The voice is mellifluous, the enunciation beautifully crisp. Tendulkar provides riveting company not because he seeks to drain his statements of any controversy but because he affects to care about their expression.
Do not suppose for a second, either, that he is unbothered by his looming milestone. In March, prior to reaching 85 during a febrile World Cup semi-final against Pakistan in Mohali, he was almost caught twice as the tension bit.
