SACHIN SILENCES CRITICS
He has served Indian cricket for 19 years and continues to serve by making his willow to talk. Even Sachin himself wouldn’t have imagined that he would achieve this feat against the world’s best team.
This feat was pending with master for a while. Everyone expected him to cross Lara’s record against Srilanka in their own backyard. It seemed as if he was destined to break record’s against best teams.
This evoked thought’s in people that Sachin had lost his venom and concentration. This was also aided by the rumors of the retirement of the fab four. But still people knew Sachin would bounce back.
This makes him the first player to cross 12,000 runs in test cricket. Spanning from the first test against Pakistan until date he has scored 39 tons and 50 fifties. Hats off to the master for his endurance and durability. He has played under many Indian captains.
There are many interesting statistics:
1) Saurav was his partner when he scored his 35th ton in Delhi breaking Sunil Gavaskar’s record. He was the one again when Sachin broke Lara’s record.
2) Krishnamachari Srikanth who was the captain in Sachin’s debut test match against Pakistan is now the chairman of selectors.
Will there be any player able to break Sachin’s record? Can Ricky Ponting and Rahul Dravid do that? Can Sachin break Lara’s record for highest score in a test innings? Only time can tell us.
