The first copy of batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's much-anticipated and talked-about autobiography -- Playing It My Way -- was presented to his mother, Rajni, by the icon himself in Mumbai on Wednesday.

"Gave the first copy of my book to my mother. Look of pride on her face was a priceless moment!" Tendulkar said on his Facebook and Twitter page.

The now-retired batsman also posted a picture of himself with his mother, who is seen smiling on receiving the book.

Tendulkar called it quits from international cricket last year after playing a record 200 Tests.
