Sachin becomes highest run-getter in Test Cricket

The long wait is finally over! India's prolific batsmen Sachin Tendulkar surpassed Brian Lara's record to become highest run-scorer in Test cricket history. He achieved this milestone against Australia in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Mohali.

West Indies batting great Brian Lara scored 11953 runs in 131 Tests at an average of 52.89 while the Indian maestro reached this mark in 152* matches at an average of 54.11 runs.

In his 19-year-old career, Sachin made and broke many records. Sachin made his Test debut in 1989 at karachi against Pakistan then he was only a 16-year-old boy.

He's come a long way since then and has been India's batting mainstay for years. The 35-year-old is already the world's top-scorer in One-Day Internationals (16,361) and has the most centuries in Test matches (39) and one-dayers (42). He has scored 49 Test half-centuries and 89 ODI fifties.
