Sachin Tendulkar is first Indian on Wisden Cover

Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, who quit international cricket last year after an illustrious 24-year long career, adorns the cover of the 151st edition of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

The 40-year-old cricketer is the first Indian to feature on the cover of the Almanack. He was earlier chosen to feature on the cover of the second edition of the Wisden India Almanack.

The yellow page shows Tendulkar walking out of the Wankhede stadium after playing his last innings against the West Indies in November last year. The photograph captured Tendulkar acknowledging the crowd with his bat raised.

The 2014 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack will be published in London tomorrow (11.04.14). Shikhar Dhawan has been named as one of the Five Cricketers of the Year,by Wisden for his performance in 2013. 

The 28-year-old Dhawan was the highest run-scorer during India's triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy, amassing 363 runs in five ODIs at an average of 90.75.
