Sachin Tendulkar's 'Playing It My Way' autobiography to release on November 6

New Delhi: The much-awaited autobiography of batting icon Sachin Tendulkar will hit the stands on November 6 with a high-profile release of the book in his home city Mumbai.

The book, titled 'Playing It My Way', will be published worldwide by Hodder and Stoughton and by Hachette India in the Indian sub-continent. The book has been co-authored by renowned cricket historian and media personality Boria Majumdar.

"I knew that agreeing to write my story would need me to be completely honest, as that's the way I have always played the game. It would require talking about a number of aspects I have not shared in public before," said Tendulkar in a press release issued by the publishers.

"So here I am, at the end of my final innings, having taken that last walk back to the pavilion, ready to recount as many incidents as I can remember since first picking up a cricket bat as a child in Mumbai thirty-five years ago," Tendulkar added.

"My autobiography will be available on Nov 6th... Excited," Tendulkar tweeted.

The front cover of the book shows Tendulkar raising his bat while walking away from the field one last time after his knock of 74 against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium on November 15.
