Sachin Tendulkar, renowned primarily for his majestic batting prowess, also left an indelible mark with his occasional role of part-time spinner. While not his primary role, Tendulkar's spin bowling contributed significantly to his illustrious cricketing career, earning him several notable bowling records.

God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar graced Indian cricket with his divine presence for 20 long years. In those two decades, he tumbled history books of the sport and piled up a mind-boggling amount of runs to attain the recognition as one of the greatest Indian batters.

However, interestingly, Sachin Tendulkar, who was also a part-time spinner, set up some unique yet special bowling records with his minimal spells.

List of Sachin's unique bowling record:

  • Tendulkar has more fifers (2) in the ODI format than the legends such as Shane Warne, Zaheer Khan, Courtney Walsh, Imran Khan, and Kapil Dev.
  • Sachin is the only bowler to defend six or fewer runs in the 50th over of the one-day format twice.
  • The legend is also the youngest Indian to take a four-wicket-haul in ODIs as he achieved the milestone at just 18 years and 181 days of age.
  • Sachin Tendulkar is tied with Ravindra Jadeja for most four wicket hauls (6) by an Indian spinner in ODIs held in Asia.
  • Tendulkar is the only cricketer to bag a Test wicket in his teenage days as well as in his 40s.

Undoubtedly, this side of Sachin Tendulkar was unknown and perhaps less popular amongst the fans who largely focused on the runs that came out of his bat.

Regardless, Sachin Tendulkar is a type of phenomenon that is born once in a lifetime, and his name will forever remain immortal in the sport's history
