Top politicians and eminent cricketers have showered their praise on Sachin for becoming the highest run scorer in Test Cricket History. He is also the leading run scorer in ODI.
Manmohan Singh - Prime Minister, India
Sachin is trully worthy of the mantle of the greatest run scorer in Tests. I have been following his cricket and there is no doubt that he is a genius.
Dilip Vengsarkar - Former Indian Captain and Chairman of Selection Committee
He is a genius. He is in great form. I feel he should be playing for at least a year or two.
Chetan Chauhan - Former Indian Opening Batsman
He is a great player, a genius, a jewel of India. We all just adore the man.
Gundappa Viswanath - Former Indian Captain
He always kept a very cool mind throughout, whether he is playing or even otherwise. That shows the greatness of Tendulkar.
Javid Miandad - Formder Pakistan Captain and Coach
Records are meant to be broken but this one is special because it shows the enduring qualities of Sachin's batting.
Zaheer Abbas - Former Pakistan Batsman
Tendulkar is a superb player of any bowling and under any conditions. The way he has kept on scoring runs all these years proves his staying power and world class quality.
Sharad Pawar - Former BCCI President
It is a moment of great joy and pride for India that Sachin Tendulkar now becomes the highest run-getter in Test cricket.
Krish Srikkanth - Former Indian Captain and Current Chairman of Selection Committee
I saw him score his first run and now I consider myself fortunate that he has surpassed Brain Lara's records when I am the chairman of the selection committee. Since I was his first captain, I always knew that he had a great future. For me he is still the same batsman I saw in 1989. India needs him for some more time because the team is going through a bad phase.
Ian Chappell - Former Australian Captain
He has brought this domination of all bowlers - pace and spin - to Indian cricket and they can take great pride in the way he has played.
