Tendulkar breaks Lara Test record

Oct 18, 2008 Sports

India’s Sachin Tendulkar has set a new record for the most runs scored by a batsman in Test cricket, overtaking the mark set by West Indies’ Brian Lara.

Tendulkar, 35, scored the 15 extra runs he needed to overtake Lara’s aggregate of 11,953 on day one of the second Test against Australia in Mohali. Already the holder of a record 39 centuries in 151 Tests, Tendulkar hit the landmark runs off Peter Siddle.

A rapturous but sparse crowd in the Punjabi city stood to applaud him. Afterwards, having been dismissed for 88 – and becoming the first man to 12,000 runs – he said: “It’s definitely the biggest milestone because it’s taken me 19 years to get – it’s not something that can happen overnight.

“The journey has been fantastic. There have been ups and downs. So many times there have been stones thrown and you have to turn them into milestones.

The 35-year-old Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly put India on top after Mitchell Johnson had reduced India to 163-4.

Tendulkar was finally dismissed for 88 by debutant Peter Siddle but Ganguly (54 not out) saw the hosts to 311-5. Scores: India 311 for 5 (Tendulkar 88, Gambhir 67, Ganguly 54*) v Australia.
