One of those people who’ve built an empire based on sheer talent, Sachin Tendulkar a.k.a the God of Cricket needs no introduction. In line with great tradition at Express Drives, we won’t be talking about his best performances on the cricket field. But instead and but of course, we’ll take a look at the man’s car collection because it is all worth gawping at.Sachin Tendulkar’s car collection began with what most of us had for our first car as well, a Maruti 800.

Sachin’s Ferrari also featured in a Bollywood film called ‘Ferrari ki Savari’.
