Audemars Piguet Ambassador Sachin Tendulkar talks about winning the 2011 World Cup for India

Back in 1983, when India won the World Cup, he admits he didn't know much about the game however it was this victory that ignited his passion for cricket. Under the close guidance of his father, Sachin took no shortcuts to success but worked extremely hard to make his dream of playing for India come true. On his path to victory, he has beaten every record, among which becoming the first batsman in the history of cricket to have scored 100 international centuries and the first cricketer to score a double hundred in One Day International competition. He also holds the world record for the most number of runs in two formats of the game.

In 2011, twenty-two years after his debut and six attempts later, he accomplished his long cherished dream by winning the World Cup for India, in front of his own crowd. No wonder why Sachin Tendulkar so perfectly embodies Audemars Piguet philosophy "to break the rules, you must first master them".
