On a historic Monday, Sachin Tendulkar guided India to a famous six-wicket win over England in the first cricket Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. The maestro remained unbeaten with 103 (196b, 9×4) as India scored 387 for the highest triumphant chase in the sub-continent.

India’s feat at Chepauk is also the fourth-highest in the list of all-time successful pursuits in Test cricket. The host leads the two-Test series 1-0. The second Test begins at Mohali on December 19.

Tendulkar’s 41st Test hundred was scripted on a dusty fifth-day pitch of variable bounce. He was involved in a rousing, undefeated fifth-wicket partnership of 163 with Yuvraj Singh (85 not out, 131b, 8×4, 1×6). The match was in the balance when Yuvraj joined Tendulkar after lunch at 224 for four. Yuvraj struck some forceful strokes during his stirring effort in a pressure situation. Virender Sehwag was adjudged the Man of the Match for his hugely influential 83 on day four.

Sachin Tendulkar is now the highest run-getter in the history of Test cricket. The Little Master broke retired West Indies batsman Brian Lara’s record of 11,953 runs in the second Test against Australia at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali on Friday when he went past the 15-run mark in the first innings.

When the match began, Tendulkar needed 15 runs to surpass Lara’s record and overtook the West Indian legend it when he took three runs after gliding the first ball after the tea break towards third man off rookie pacer Peter Siddle. He walked in to bat after India lost the wicket of former skipper Rahul Dravid with the scorecard reading 146/2and reached the landmark in the company of another former India skipper Sourav Ganguly.

Tendulkar already holds the world record of most Test centuries with 39 tons under his belt. He has also 42 One-Day Internationals centuries for a total of 81 international hundreds, which again is a world record. The 35-year-old batsman also has 49 half-centuries in Tests and 89 in ODIs.

He also hold the record scoring maximum ODIs runs and is the only batsman to have accumulated more than 15,000 runs in the 50-over format. Currently Tendulkar has ODIs 16,361 runs against his name from 417 matches. Tendulkar made his India debut in 1989 against Pakistan at Karachi and since then has scored at an average of 54.02.
