Sachin Tendulkar

England’s stand-in captain Joe Root reached the 14,000 Test runs mark on Saturday, becoming only the second batter in the world after Sachin Tendulkar to do so.

🏏 Joe Root Becomes 2nd Cricketer After Sachin Tendulkar To Reach 14,000 Runs in Tests, Achieves Feat During ENG vs NZ 2nd Test 2026.

Root, who is England’s stand-in captain in the absence of Ben Stokes, achieved the feat in 301 innings, 23 innings slower than Tendulkar, who took only 279 innings to cross the 14,000-run mark.

Kris Srikkanth ruled out any comparisons between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar.

Rohit Sharma’s journey to 14,000 List A runs is one of those moments. During the second ODI against Afghanistan in Lucknow, the Indian captain quietly crossed the landmark and became only the fifth Indian batter to achieve it. The applause was for another number on the scorecard, but the achievement represents much more than that. [...]

Kris Srikkanth hails Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as India's future but rejects any comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar.

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar revealed his organized packing strategy in a recent video, a habit he's maintained since school. He emphasizes practicality, preferring a single, manageable bag and comfortable slip-on shoes for flights. Tendulkar also shared his preference for relaxed attire and no-fuss snacks like energy bars and bhakarwadis for his travels.

Former England bowling great Stuart Broad has chosen an all-time best Test XI of batters that played against him. Surprisingly, Broad left out Sachin Tendulkar and picked only one Indian in his list. Broad is considered to be one of the best fast bowlers produced by England, taking 604 wickets in 167 Tests and 178 wickets in 121 ODIs. He also played 56 T20Is and took 65 wickets, while also captaining the England team in the format. Broad was asked by Wisden to assemble the strongest XI from opponents he personally competed against. It's interesting to see that Broad chose Virat Kohli over Sachin Tendulkar in an XI full of champions from all eras. Broad chose to combine Sri Lankan veteran Kumar Sangakkara, who also serves as a wicketkeeper, with South African mainstay Graeme Smith at the top of the order. The only Indian featured was Virat Kohli, and the legendary Australian Ricky Ponting was ranked third. Sachin Tendulkar, a superb blaster, was conspicuously absent from Broad's all-time Test XI. Broad admitted that he had thought a lot about choosing the middle order before he settled on Steve Smith and Jacques Kallis at five and six. AB de Villiers, who brought both explosiveness with the bat and extra keeping cover, was positioned at No. 7. However, Broad had no hesitation in picking his bowling attack as he chose Australia’s Mitchell Starc and South African legend Dale Steyn as his premier pacers. He then chose Mitchell Starc to complete a scary-looking pace attack. However, he chose only one spinner, and that was Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan- the highest wicket-taker in Test history. Stuart Broad had some tough decisions to make when picking his ultimate Test XI of cricketers he’s played against ????

Shubman Gill's stellar 154 against Afghanistan in Lucknow secured a commanding 170-run victory for India, clinching the ODI series. This remarkable innings marked Gill as the seventh Indian captain to score over 150, joining legends like Tendulkar and Kohli. His performance underscores his growing stature in Indian cricket.

Rohit Sharma has achieved a feat that only Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid (among Indians) have done in the past.
