Does Tendulkar have a brother?

He does. Actually, it's his elder brother Ajit who sacrificed his cricketing career to guide and mentor a young Tendulkar just into cricket at that time. It's not something which happens often in a family.

Sachin Tendulkar's twenty glorious years of cricket: Part I-Family

It was his elder brother Ajit Tendulkar, who first spotted cricketing talent in Sachin. Ajit was interested in cricket himself and played the sport during his school and college days. He later left playing cricket, to mentor his younger brother's cricket career.

Ajit Tendulkar has written a book on the life and times of Sachin Tendulkar, titled “The Making of a cricketer”. During Sachin’s formative years, it was Ajit who accompanied him during his cricketing tours within and out of the country, guiding him at each and every step. At present, he looks after Sachin’s diverse endorsements and business interests.

The cricketer says, “Ajit has always been my guiding light in cricket. He was the one who spotted my natural ability and honed that. With his help and coaching I have developed into the cricketer that I am. I am still improving and it is still Ajit that I look to for that help."

Samaraweera's two brothers played for sri lanka, one of them was called Dilip, the other I can't remember. Thilan is by far the most succesful though.

That's them. Zimbabwe cricket is a family business.

Darren Pattinson has a younger brother James who played for Aus A last month.

Both will have ended up playing international cricket you'd think, albeit for different sides.
