Tendulkar scales another mountain

Sachin Tendulkar, when he tapped a Razzaq delivery to long leg and picked up a single, became the fifth cricketer in history to score 10000 runs in test cricket. He joins an elite club comprising of Allan Border, Sunil Gavaskar, Steve Waugh and Brian Lara, all of who have scored more than 10000 runs.

Tendulkar is now India's second highest run getter in Tests

Sachin Tendulkar passed another milestone during the third day of the second Test against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club. When he struck Arnoldus Blignaut for his third boundary to move from 18 to 22, Tendulkar surpassed Dilip Vengsarkar's tally of 6868 runs to become India's second highest Test run getter (in 32 fewer matches and 60 fewer innings).

World record partnership

Two pint sized Shardashram batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli added a humongous 664 runs for the third wicket in a Harris Shield game in February 1988 at the Azad Maidan to create a new world partnership record for any wicket in any class of cricket. Kambli made 349 and skipper Tendulkar 326 as Shardashram hoisted a total of 748/2 before taking mercy on a wilting St. Xavier's High School attack, which included future India leg spinner Sairaj Bahutule (27/0/182/0). Xavier's were then throttled out for 154, Kambli grabbing 6/37! Tendulkar made another triple century against Anjuman-i-Islam in the final where no result was obtained on first innings even after four days and both teams were declared joint winners.
