SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – FEBRUARY 26: Sachin Tendulkar of India bats during the One Day International match between Australia and India at Sydney Cricket Ground on February 26, 2012 in Sydney, Australia.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar made his way into the record books again when he crossed 34,000 runs against England in the Kolkata Test today morning. He is 6500+ runs ahead of second placed Ricky Ponting and 8500+ runs ahead of the highest placed active player Jacques Kallis, clearly indicating how the Little Master’s record may remain intact for at least another fifteen years.
