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

acknowledging the crowd with his bat raised. The 2014 edition of Wisden
Cricketers' Almanack will be published in London tomorrow. 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.
