Tendulkar was born at the Nirmal Nursing Home in the [[Dadar]] neighbourhood of [[Bombay, Maharashtra]] on 24 April
Tendulkar spent his formative years in the Sahitya Sahawas Cooperative Housing Society in [[Bandra|Bandra (East)]]. As a young boy, Tendulkar was considered a [[Bullying|bully]], and he often picked fights with new children in his school.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=3 |title=38 special facts about Sachin Tendulkar – 3 |publisher=MSN |date=16 March 2012 |access-date=18 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606052152/http://sports.in.msn.com/cricket/sachincorner/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5132762&page=3 |archive-date=6 June 2013 }}</ref>

To help curb his bullying tendencies, his elder brother Ajit introduced Tendulkar to cricket in 1984. Ajit introduced him to cricket coach [[Ramakant Achrekar]] at [[Shivaji Park]] in Dadar. At their first meeting, Tendulkar did not play well. Ajit told Achrekar that he was feeling self-conscious due to the coach observing him, and was not displaying his natural game. Ajit requested the coach to give him another chance at playing, but watch while hiding behind a tree. This time, Tendulkar, apparently unobserved, played much better and was accepted at Achrekar's academy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.in.com/sports/cricket/reminiscing-old-days-sachin-tendulkar-on-late-coach-ramakant-achrekar-278431.htm|title=Reminiscing old days: Sachin Tendulkar on late coach Ramakant Achrekar|website=in.com}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>{{Better source needed example|reason=Dead link|date=November 2021}}
