CRICKET LOVELY CRICKET

Ready for Records

Sachin has become a record master as he enter into record books time and again in his long and illustrious career. Sachin Tendulkar's 35 against Trinidad and Tobago during the CLT20 semi-final helped him reach yet another personal milestone. He became the first Indian and only the 16th player ever to score 50,000 runs in all recognized forms of cricket. It seems the records just keep piling up for the Little Master. In his career spanning over 23 years, Tendulkar has achieved immeasurable records in both Test and ODI cricket. We take a look at the most prominent ones.

Tendulkar now has 50009 runs in 953 competitive matches, which includes 551 List A matches, 307 First-class matches and 95 T20 games. Tendulkar has so far scored 25,228 runs in 307 First-class matches, including a staggering 15,837 runs in 198 Tests. The 40-year-old has 21,999 runs in 551 List A matches which includes 18,426 runs in 463 ODIs. Having scored 2747 in the 94 earlier T20 matches, the Master Blaster scored the necessary 26 runs with ease. Sachin Tendulkar has had an ordinary 2013 CLT20 tournament till the semifinals and could score only 20 runs in four matches with a highest score of only 15.  Sachin is also standing on the cusp of another rare feat of becoming the first player in the history of the game to play 200 Test matches, which in all likelihood will be completed in the upcoming two-Test series against the West Indies. Having created so many records in his 23 year old career starting from the 1989 Karachi Test, he can be called Sachhi Record Making Ramesh Tendulkar.
