Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday became
the most-capped Test cricketer in the world after taking the field for his 169th match here, the third and final of the series against Sri Lanka.
The 37-year-old champ, who holds almost every batting record, overtook retired former Australian skipper Steve Waugh with whom he was tied at 168 matches after the second Test.
Tendulkar, who has been around for two decades, has also played 442 one-day internationals, just a couple of matches less than Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya’s record of 444. —PTI
