Tendulkar is just 15 runs short of becoming the highest run scorer in test cricket history. He is lead by the West Indian batsman Brain Lara with 11953 runs. If he scores 62 runs, he will touch 12,000 run mark in Test Cricket.
Though his record is very nearer, Lalchand Rajput said that, "Sachin is not a player who plays for record. If he plays for record, he would not have told the umpires about the fading light during the last day of the first test. I am sure it is not in his mind as he wanted to conquer the Australians than his personal records. When the plan was worked out for the 2nd test, there were talks about his records, which he set aside. He is looking for winning the test and series. Though he has taken more tests than Lara, a record is a record. Each player is different and the conditions they play are different."
Well, he is playing his 152nd test tomorrow, and if India bats first, everyone will be looking for him to score those important 15 runs and then blast Australians.
Let us all wish him the best tomorrow!
