His introduction to me was when one of the England players hit a high shot into an open area of the pitch, and it looked like an easy four. Then Tendulkar shot onto the screen, running from about a mile away, and caught the ball one-handed. It was great cricket to see - perhaps only something a young player would even attempt. I remember that whole series as having some entertaining cricket, with Kapil Dev's extravagant four sixes to avoid the follow-on as sheer fun - although not for the bowler Hemmings. Tendulkar had a century in one of the matches as well, and to see him still getting centuries is a real pleasure.
Twenty years on and still going strong.
