Last updated on: July 23, 2010 12:05 IST Briggs was the first to 100 wickets in Tests Next Muttiah Muralitharan became the first bowler to take 800 wickets in Test cricket when he dismissed Pragyan Ojha caught in the slip by Mahela Jayawardene. Here is a chronology of first player to reach every important milestone in Test cricket: The first bowler to take 100 wickets in Test matches was the England left-arm slow bowler, Johnny Briggs. He reached the landmark just before tea on the first day of the Fourth Test against Australia at Sydney on 1 February 1895 in his 25th match. The first bowler to take 200 wickets was Australia's New Zealand-born leg-break bowler, Clarrie Grimmett. He reached that total on 17 February 1936 at the Old Wanderers, Johannesburg, in the penultimate Test of his career. Fred Trueman was the first bowler to take 300 wickets in Test cricket.

He reached that total at The Oval in his 65th Test on 15 August 1964 when he had Neil Hawke of Australia caught at slip by Colin Cowdrey. The first bowler to take 400 Test wickets was Richard Hadlee on 4 February 1990 against India on his home ground at Lancaster Park, Christchurch. He reached this landmark at the age of 38 years 216 days after 80 Tests spread over 17 years and two days. Courtney Walsh was the first bowler to take 500 wickets in Test cricket. He reached the landmark at Port-of-Spain on 19 March 2001 in his 129th match when he had trapped Jacques Kallis in front of the wickets. The first bowler to take 600 Test wickets was Shane Warne on 11 August 2005 at Old Trafford against England in his 126th match when he had opener Marcus Trescothick caught behind by Adam Gilchrist.

Shane Warne also became the first bowler to reach the 700-wicket mark on 26 December 2006 at Melbourne once again against England by clean bowling Andrew Strauss. Statistics: Rajneesh Gupta Prev Next The first batsman to score a hundred in Test cricket was Australia's Charles Bannerman who on 15 and 16 March 1877 in the very first innings in Test cricket, scored 165 not out (retired hurt) out of Australia's total of 245. The first batsman to score a hundred in each innings of a Test match was Warren Bardsley when he scored 136 and 130 for Australia at The Oval in August 1909. The first batsman to score a double hundred in Test cricket was Australia's Billy Murdoch who scored 211 for Australia against England at The Oval in August 1884. The first batsman to score a triple hundred in Test cricket was England's Andy Sandham when he scored 325 against West Indies at Kingston in April 1930.

Sandham's record score was surpassed by Don Bradman (334 in 1930), Wally Hammond (336 not out in 1932-33), Len Hutton (364 in 1938). West Indian Gary Sobers then scored 365 not out against Pakistan at Kingston in 1957-58) and it remained a record until another West Indian Brian Lara made 375 against England at St. John's in 1993-94. Australia's Matthew Hayden broke Lara's record with 380 against Zimbabwe at Perth in 2003-04, but Lara got the record back on his name against England once again against England at St. John's in the same season. Lara also became the first batsman to score a quadruple century (400 not out) in Test history. The first batsman to score 1000 runs in Test cricket was England's Aurthur Shrewsbury. He reached that landmark during the last of his three centuries for England, against Australia at Lord's on 17 July 1893.

Clem Hill, the Australian left-hander, was the first to score both 2,000 and 3000 runs in Tests. He reached the 2000-mark against England on his home ground, the Adelaide Oval, on 15 January 1904. He completed the 3000 runs on the same ground almost exactly seven years later against South Africa. Having exceeded Hill's final and record aggregate of 3412, Jack Hobbs went on to become the first batsman to reach both 4000 (at Lord's against Australia on 28 June 1926) and 5000 runs (on 14 March 1929 at Melbourne). Wally Hammond continued this sequence by taking the record beyond 6000 (against South Africa at Johannesburg on 24 December 1938) and, past the 7000-mark (on 19 August 1946 at The Oval against India). Hammond's record of 7249 survived until 29 November 1970 when Colin Cowdrey overtook it at Brisbane.

Then, against England at Kingston, Jamaica, on 20 February 1974, Gary Sobers became the first to score 8000 runs in Test cricket. Image: Brian Lara Prev Next India's diminutive opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar was the first to score both 9000 and 10000 runs in Tests. He reached the 9000-mark during his undefeated 166 against Australia at Adelaide on 17 December 1985. He became the first to notch five figures shortly after tea on 7 March 1987, against Pakistan at Ahmedabad's Gujarat Stadium and playing his penultimate Test. A jubilant crowd invasion halted play for more than 20 minutes. Australia's Allan Border became the first batsman to score 11000 runs in Test cricket. He achieved this feat during his innings of 84 against South Africa at Adelaide on 29 January 1994 in his 150th consecutive Test, his 90th in succession as captain and his final international match on home soil.

West Indies' Brian Lara surpassed Border's tally but he ended his Test career 47 short of 12000-mark. India's Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to reach both 12000 (against Australia at Mohali on 17 October 2008) and 13000 runs (against Bangladesh at Chittagong on 17 January 2010). Image: Sunil Gavaskar (right) with Sachin Tendulkar More The first bowler to take a hat-trick was 'The Demon' Spofforth for Australia against England at Melbourne on January 2, 1879 in only the third Test match played. Spofforth was also the first bowler to take 10 wickets in a match when he returned the figures of 13 for 110 in the same Test. The first bowler to take all ten wickets in a Test innings was England's Jim Laker, who took 10 for 53 in Australia's second innings after taking 9 for 37 in the first innings in July 1956.

Laker also achieved the distinction of becoming the first bowler to dismiss all 11 batsmen in the match. The first batsman to aggregate 1,000 runs in a calendar year was Australia's Clem Hill in 1902. The first player to make 100 wicketkeeping dismissals was Australia's Bert Oldfield when he stumped England's Hedley Verity off Clarrie Grimmett at Lord's on June 23, 1934. The first keeper to make 200 dismissals was Godfrey Evans when he caught 'Collie' Smith in West Indies' second innings at Headingley, Leeds on July 27, 1957 in his 80th Test. The first fielder to hold 100 catches was Wally Hammond of England. He reached that landmark on July 25, 1939 against West Indies at Old Trafford, Manchester in his 76th Test. The first instance of allround double (1000 runs & 100 wickets) was recorded in 1896.

Not until 1963 did the first player (Richie Benaud) achieve the 'Double Double' of 2000 runs and 200 wickets. Twenty-one years later the first instance of the 'Treble Double' (3000 runs and 300 wickets) was completed by Ian Botham. India's Kapil Dev became the first player to complete the 'Quadruple Double' (4000 runs and 400 wickets). The first player to score a hundred and take 10 wickets in a match was England's Ian Botham against India in the Golden Jubilee Test at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, in February 1980. The first player to play in 100 Tests was England's Colin Cowdrey, while the first to appear in 100 consecutive Tests was India's Sunil Gavaskar.

Vikrant Hase. email : vikrant88@yahoo.com BBC SPORT | Cricket | Tendulkar breaks Lara Test record Photos Tendulkar has been playing Test cricket for India since 1989 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. "I knew I was 14 runs short [when Friday's innings started]. I have just been trying to focus on the game but whoever I see in front of me they have an opportunity to remind me. "I decided to keep it simple and keep watching the ball." Tendulkar insisted he had no plans to end his career in the immediate future.

"As long as I'm enjoying it I will play. I don't need X, Y or Z to tell me when I should stop or continue. When I started playing nobody told me that. So nobody need to tell me now either," he added. He spent the tea interval on 13 not out, just one run away from Lara's record. But after the 20-minute break he hit his first ball for three down to third man and saluted the crowd before the Australian fielders went to shake his hand. Tendulkar celebrates record achievement Fireworks were set off around the ground. India's President Pratibha Patil later said Tendulkar had "given joy to millions of Indians", while the country's Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, described the batsman as a genius. "I congratulate Sachin Tendulkar on becoming the highest run-scorer in Test cricket," said Singh. "Sachin is truly 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." Former India captain Kapil Dev says his compatriot is a hero to a cricket-loving nation and admire the way he has dealt with the adoration. "I think he is one of the finest batsmen the world has ever seen," said Dev, who was once the world's leading wicket-taker. "Millions of people in this country love him. Every kid wants to be come Sachin Tendulkar. "He has set a standard for those young people to follow him. The country needs heroes like him. "It is not easy to play for 19 years with the pressure he has had throughout his career. People love him. He can't go out, do the things he wants to do. LEADING TEST RUN-SCORERS SM Gavaskar (India): 10,122 Names in bold current players "Every simple thing he does in his life, people notice. Hats off to him for still coming forward to play cricket." It was fitting that Tendulkar established the new mark against Australia, the overwhelmingly dominant team of his era - and a side against whom he has achieved distinguished success.

A prodigy as a youth, his century as a 19-year old on an ultra-fast wicket in Perth is often regarded one of the best innings ever to have been played in Australia. He was only 16 when he made his Test debut, in 1989 and scored his first Test hundred, a match-saving one against England at Old Trafford, a year later. Tendulkar was regarded by the late Sir Don Bradman as the one batsman of the modern era who most reminded him of himself. A tremendous performer in the one-day arena, Tendulkar is also the highest scorer and century-maker in that format. Former England batsman Geoff Boycott, who became the first Englishman to score more than 8,000 Test runs, breaking West Indies all-rounder Sir Garry Sobers' batting record in the process, told BBC Radio 5 Live that Tendulkar will hold the record for years to come.

But the 67-year-old still regards Bradman as the greatest batsman the game has seen, saying: "There's none of us who have come near him." 606: DEBATE Where does Tendulkar rank among the greatest batsmen of all time? "Tendulkar's handled publicity very well. In India where they're mad on cricket it'd be easy to get sucked into it, but he's managed to keep a private life and kept that at arms length from his public life and it's nice for him," said Boycott. "There'll always be people who break records because nowadays they play more Test matches than ever, more one-day internationals. "It was inevitable that people like Lara and Tendulkar - two of the great players of the last few years - would break records of some distinction almost every other year or two. "I broke Garry Sobers' record and I said at the time that if you play enough Test matches and you're pretty good at what you do then you'll break records.

"But it didn't make me a better player than Garry Sobers and it won't make Tendulkar a better player than Bradman, a genius - the best batsmen of the lot." Former England batsman Allan Lamb paid tribute to Tendulkar's feat, telling BBC Radio 5 Live: "He's very classical. He's a batter who keeps very still at the wicket. That's something that every youngster is told to do. "He's got all the shots in the book. He can play all round the wicket and he's got a lot of time to play his shots, and that's what makes him such a great player. "Lara got his runs in 131 Test matches, so you've got to say that's an incredible achievement. "Tendulkar's probably not the player he was two or three years ago, so he will probably hang up his boots in a year or so. But then you've got Ricky Ponting steaming up from the back so I don't know how long the Indians will hold that record."

In September 2007, the Australian prop spinner Shane Warne rated Tendulkar as the utmost player he has played with or in opposition to. Tendulkar was integral parts of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian squad at the later on part of his career, his first such win in six World Cup manifestations with India. Tendulkar is the initial and the only player in Test Cricket times past to attain fifty centuries, and the first to attain fifty centuries in all worldwide crickets pooled; he at present has 99 centuries in international cricket.

Tendulkar's senior brother Ajit buoyant him to play cricket.

Tendulkar has two further siblings: a brother Nitin, and sister Savita. Tendulkar went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (High School), where he began his cricketing career under the supervision of his coach and mentor, Ramakant Achrekar. All through his school days he focused the MRF Pace organization to instruct as a fast bowler, but Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee, who took a world record 355 Test wickets, was unconvinced, telling that Tendulkar focus on his batting as a substitute. Although at school, he urbanized a status as a child genius. He had become a familiar conversation top in Mumbai circles, where there were propositions by now that he would become one of the greats. His spell in 1988 was astonishing; with Tendulkar gaining a century in each innings he played. He was implicated in an endless 664-run partnership in a Lord Harris Shield inter-school sport in 1988 with friend and side mate Vinod Kambli, who would also go on to represent India.

The disparaging pair reduced one bowler to tears and made the rest of the conflict reluctant to persist the match. Tendulkar scored 326* in this innings and attained over a thousand runs in the contest. This was a record affiliation in any type of cricket until 2006, when it was busted by two under-13 batsmen in a game held at Hyderabad in India. At 14, Tendulkar was an orb boy for the India versus Zimbabwe fixture at the Wankhede Stadium for the period of the 1987 World Cup. When he was 14, Indian batting star Sunil Gavaskar gave him a pair off of his own mega light pads. "It was the greatest basis of encouragement for me," he said nearly 20 years later on after exceeding Gavaskar's world record of 34 Test centuries. On 24 May 1995, Sachin Tendulkar married Anjali, a paediatrician and descendant of Gujarati factory owner Anand Mehta and British social worker Annabel Mehta.

Philanthropy Tendulkar supports 200 deprived children all year throughout Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO allied with his mother-in-law, Annabel Mehta. An application from Sachin on Twitter hoisted 1.025 crore (US$228,575) through Sachin's campaign aligned with cancer for the movement in opposition to Cancer foundation. Early domestic career On 11 December 1988, ripened just 15 years and 232 days, Tendulkar attained 100 not out in his entrance first-class game for Bombay in opposition to Gujarat, making him the littlest Indian to achieve a century on first-class debut. He tracked this by scoring a century in his first Deodhar and Duleep Trophy. He was selected by the Mumbai skipper Dilip Vengsarkar after seeing him confer Kapil Dev in the nets, and completed the term as Bombay's highest run-scorer.

He also made a winning century in the Irani Trophy absolute, and was preferred for the visit of Pakistan after that year, after just one first class term. His first double century was for Mumbai although playing alongside the visiting Australian squad at the Brabourne Stadium in 1998.He is the only player to attain a century in all three of his Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy debuts. In 1992, at the period of 19, Tendulkar became the first abroad born player to symbolize Yorkshire Tendulkar played 16 first-class competitions for the county and gained 1070 runs at a standard of 46.52. International career Raj Singh Durgapur is ascribed for the mixture of Tendulkar for the 1989 Indian visit of Pakistan. Tendulkar played his first Test game in opposition to Pakistan in Karachi in 1989 aged just 16. He made just 15 runs, being bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his first appearance in that contest, but was noted for how he handled abundant blows to his body at the hands of the Pakistani speed assault.

In the ultimate test in Sialkot, he was strike on the nose by a bouncer, but he refused medical aid and sustained to bat even as he surged blood from it. In a 20 over exposition sport in Peshawar, Tendulkar made 53 runs off 18 balls, including an over in which he scored 28 runs off Abdul Qadir. This was shortly called "one of the best innings I have seen" by the then Indian skipper Kris Srikkanth. In all, he cored 215 runs at a standard of 35.83 in the Test sequence, and was dismissed devoid of achieving a run in the only One Day International he played. The series was followed by a tour of New Zealand in which he scored 117 runs at an average of 29.25 in, Tests including an innings of 88 in the Second Test. He was dismissed without scoring in one of the two one-day games he played, and scored 36 in the other.

On his subsequent tour, to England in 1990, he became the second youngest cricketer to gain a Test century as he made 119* at Old Trafford. Wisden illustrated his innings as "a regimented display of massive maturity" and also wrote: "He looked the epithet of India's eminent opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was exhausting a pair of his pads. Though he exhibited a full collection of strokes in gathering his maiden Test hundred, most amazing were his off-side shots from the back foot. However only 5ft 5in tall, he was still capable to control devoid of obscurity short deliveries from the English paceman." Tendulkar more enhanced his development for the period of the 1991�1992 visits of Australia that integrated an unbeaten 148 in Sydney and a century on a fast, bouncing field at Perth. Merv Hughes observed to Allan Border at the instant that "This little prick's going to get further runs than you, AB." Captaincy Tendulkar's two tenures as skipper of the Indian cricket squad were not very victorious.

When Tendulkar took over as skipper in 1996, it was with enormous hopes and potentials. Conversely, by 1997 the squad was performing defectively. Azharuddin was attributed with saying "Nahin jeetega! Chote ki naseeb main jeet nahin hai!" which decodes into: "He won't win! It's not in the small one's destiny!" Tendulkar, ensuing Azharuddin as head for his second time, then led India on a visit of Australia, where the visitors were broadly beaten 3�0 by the newly peaked world champions. Tendulkar, on the other hand, won the player of the event honor as well as player of the contest in one of the games. Following another Test sequence defeat, this time by a 0�2 margin at home in opposition to South Africa, Tendulkar resigned, and Sourav Ganguly took over as skipper in 2000. Tendulkar relics an integral part of the Indian side's deliberate processes. He is frequently seen in debate with the skipper, at epochs aggressively involved in building strategies.

Former skipper Rahul Dravid in public recognized that Tendulkar had been suggesting moves such as the encouragement of Irfan Pathan up the batting order which, even though only transitory, had an instant effect on the side's chance. In 2007, Tendulkar was selected vice-captain to skipper Rahul Dravid. For the period of the Indian squad's 2007 visit of England, Dravid's aspiration to leave from the captaincy became known. The BCCI President Sharad Pawar personally offered the captaincy to Tendulkar. However, Tendulkar asked Pawar not to appoint him captain, instead recommending Mahendra Singh Dhoni to take over the reins. Pawar later revealed this conversation, crediting Tendulkar for first forwarding the name of Dhoni, who since achieved much success as captain. Indian Premier League Tendulkar was made the icon player and skipper for his home side, the Mumbai Indians in the initial Indian Premier League Twenty20 opposition in 2008.

As a symbol player, he was marked for a sum of US$1,121,250, 15% more than the second-highest paid player in the squad, Sanath Jayasuriya.

Tendulkar made 618 runs in 14 innings for the period of the tournament, breaking Shaun Marsh's record of most runs in an IPL term. He was affirmed player of the competition for his act for the period of the period.

He scored 100* off 66 balls. He has completed 1647 runs in 49 matches/innings in IPL's four seasons, with a standard of 40.17 so far and at present second highest jog scorer only after Suresh Raina.

Style of play Tendulkar is cross-dominant: He bats, bowls and pitches with his right hand, but inscribes with his left hand. He also follows left-handed throws at the nets on a normal basis. Cricinfo columnist Sambit BAL has illustrated him as the "most wholesome batsman of his time" His batting is supported on inclusive steadiness and poise while limiting needless movements and trappings. He emerges to show little penchant for the slow and low wickets which are typical in India, and has attained various centuries on the hard, bouncy pitches in South Africa and Australia. He is known for his exclusive punch style of striking the ball over square. He is also well-known for his seamless straight drive, frequently completed with no follow-through. Recently, renowned Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar, in an article he wrote in the AFP, stated that "it is hard to picture any player in the history of the match who joins classical system with rare hostility like the little champion does". Sir Donald Bradman measured by many as the greatest batsman of all time, measured Tendulkar to have a batting style like to his.

In his biography, it is stated that "Bradman was most taken by Tendulkar's technique, firmness and shot invention, and had asked his wife to have a look at Tendulkar having felt that Tendulkar cooperated like him. Bradman's wife, Jessie, granted that they did emerge akin." Past Australian cricket side Coach John Buchanan voiced his belief that Tendulkar had become vulnerable to the short ball premature in his innings because of a require of footwork. Buchanan also deems Tendulkar has a weakness while playing left-arm rapidity. He was affected by a sequence of injuries while 2004. Ever since then Tendulkar's batting has leaned to be fewer attacking. Explaining this amend in his batting style, he has recognized that he is batting a different way due to that truth that, firstly, no batsman can bat the similar way for the entire span of a long career and, secondly, he is a senior associate of the squad now and thus has more liability. For the period of the early part of his profession he was a more attacking batsman and commonly attained centuries at shut to a run a ball.

Ian Chappell, past Australian player, freshly observed that "Tendulkar now, is naught like the player he was when he was a little bloke". Although Tendulkar is not a standard bowler, he is adroit at bowling medium pace, leg spin and off spin with identical alleviate. He frequently bowls when two batsmen of the converse squad have been batting jointly for a long stage, as he can frequently be a useful enterprise breaker. With his bowling, he has helped safe an Indian victory on more than one instance. He has taken 44 test game wickets and is the tenth highest wicket stealer for India in ODIs.

Called up to replace the injured Stuart Clark in the second five-day test against India in Mohali, India, the 23-year-old Australian fast-medium bowler supplied the delivery that Sachin Tendulkar deflected for the three runs that made him the highest run-scorer in 131 years of test cricket. The Indian thus overtook the West Indian Brian Lara's mark of 11,953.

He is the 12th man, and the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar, to hold the record since England's Arthur Shrewsbury became the first to score 1,000 runs in tests in 1893. A brief hiatus followed on Friday as Tendulkar punched the sky, every single member of the Australian team shook hands with him, fireworks flashed and the crowd rose to its feet. Continue reading the main story Tendulkar, 35, now holds every major career batting record in international cricket. As well as scoring the most runs, he has played more innings of 100 and above in five-day tests than any other batsman, and has long held both records in one-day internationals. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Later Friday, he became the first batsman to score 12,000 runs in tests and fell 12 runs short of becoming the first to play 40 innings of 100 or more when Siddle had him caught, the first wicket of his test career, in the closing stages.

Tendulkar ended on 88 from 111 balls, moving him to 12,027 runs at an average of 54.17. India closed the day on 311 for 5. The first match of the four-test series was drawn. Tendulkar's feat was one long foretold as the culmination of an international career stretching back to the week after the Berlin Wall came down in November 1989. The only surprise is that it had not happened a little earlier. He was less than 200 short when India ended its visit to Australia earlier this year. Since then, though, he had been restricted by injury to a single scoreless innings in a three-match series with South Africa, then struggled badly in three matches against Sri Lanka, scoring only 95 runs. Indians had begun seriously to debate whether he should be dropped from the team - a proposition once as unthinkable as benching Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan or Pelé. An online poll, admittedly as unscientific as all of its type, showed opinion evenly divided.

Where it once seemed likely that he would put every career record close to its absolute limit, he is under hot pursuit in both runs and centuries.

Sign Up Australia's captain, Ricky Ponting, who is two years younger, has scored 10,239 runs and 36 centuries and has been gathering both more rapidly in recent years. Tendulkar's recent dip in form is, though, out of character with a career of remarkable sustained excellence. Advertisement Continue reading the main story He is a rare example of a teenage prodigy - he took part in the largest partnership ever recorded in any class of cricket as a schoolboy, made his debut for India at 16 and scored his first test century, saving a match against England in Manchester, as a 17-year-old - who has gone on to match and even exceed early expectation. He has been fortunate in his timing, his career coinciding with the economic development in his nation that has created a huge middle-class whose spending power has made India cricket's economic powerhouse and made rich men of its leading players.

None has become richer than Tendulkar, the unmatched idol of a vast nation, nor has any had to cope with greater expectation or the pressures that go with such standing. He has for years been unable to venture onto the streets of his native Mumbai, or any other Indian city, for fear of being mobbed. Nobody achieves for as long as Tendulkar without being a supreme technician, but his status as an idol rests as much on also being an artist whose speed on his feet, economy of movement and superhuman hand-eye coordination have made him one of the most watchable batsmen of his time. It was right that, like Lara, he broke the record against Australia. Occasional voices are raised arguing that Tendulkar is overrated, citing the absence of vast career-defining innings of the sort played by his teammate Rahul Dravid or Lara. The answer is in his record against Australia, the supreme test of the modern cricketer. His 2,502 runs against Australia at an average of more than 55 per innings is superior to any other active player.

Only England's Jack Hobbs, who played 71 innings compared to Tendulkar's 50, has exceeded his nine centuries against Australia. Australia's greatest cricketers have acclaimed him. The spin-bowler Shane Warne rated him the No.1 player of his time. Sir Donald Bradman, the greatest batsman from any nation, saw more of himself in Tendulkar's stature, speed and stroke play than in any other player.
