Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar awaits yet another record at the ongoing Test match between India and Sri Lanka at the Green Park stadium of Kanpur. This time the Master Blaster is just 103 runs away from touching the 13,000 run mark in Test cricket.
With 17,000 one-day runs and over 30,000 runs in international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, who is already the highest run getter in Test is slated to cross the 13,000 mark. With every run scored and ever century smashed, Tendulkar will only continue to break his own records. However, the batsman who comes close second is Australian skipper Ricky Ponting, who is quickly chasing Sachin's records.
Tendulkar tops the tally of the highest run getters in Test cricket. Tendulkar is currently 103 runs away from 13,000 runs, while West Indian great Brian Lara who ranks second has retired from cricket. Ricky Ponting is placed third on that tally with over 11,000 runs, while Rahul Dravid is fifth with 11,123 runs.
Just a few days ago, Sachin scored ton number 43 against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Ahmedabad. Infact the master batsmen has highest number of centuries in both forms of the game.
