After Tendulkar, now comes Tondulkar

A schoolboy, whose name and insatiable appetite for runs bear a strong resemblance to superstar Sachin Tendulkar, is making waves in cricketing circles.

A schoolboy, whose name and insatiable appetite for runs bear a strong resemblance to superstar Sachin Tendulkar, is making waves in cricketing circles.

Rahul Tondulkar, like the original master, hails from cricket-crazy Mumbai and is a right-handed batsman who has already notched up record-breaking feats in schools cricket at the age of 14.

Last week, Tondulkar smashed an unbeaten 357 with 49 fours and three sixes for Sule Guruji School in a Harris Shield elite group match against St Francis school in the city.

It is the same tournament in which SAchin Tendulkar burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old in 1988 by scoring 326 not out in a world-record stand of 664 with childhood friend Vinod Kambli.
