Indian cricket team’s Little Master Sachin Tendulkar emerged as the most-capped Test cricketer in the world on Tuesday as he finished his stunt on the field for his 169th match, which also happens to be the third and final match of the current ongoing test series against Sri Lanka.

Sachin Tendulkar, the batting maestro who is now 37 years old, has the record of holding almost every record in batting. He even overtook the retired former Australian skipper Steve Waugh. He was formerly tied with the Australian captain at 168 matches, but after the second Test at SSC here he overtook him.

Tendulkar has been playing for the country for almost twenty years now, and he has in his playing record 442 one-day internationals, which only two short of matching the Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya’s record of 444.

Tendulkar has an average score of 56.08 by scoring 13,742 runs from 168 Test matches, including 48 centuries and 55 half-centuries in the way.

From his 442 one-day matches, Tendulkar has scored 17,598 runs. This has 46 centuries in its account. He also has the record of being the first batsman to make a double century in an ODI.
