Superstar Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar added another milestone in his illustrious career by becoming the most-capped Test cricketer today as he is playing in the third and final match of the ongoing series against Sri Lanka.

The 37-year-old ionic batsman holds almost every batting record that is there in international cricket. He overtakes retired former Australian captain Steve Waugh as he is playing in the 169th match of his career today at Colombo. Tendulkar has also played 442 ODIs just a couple of matches less than Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya's record of 444 ODIs.

Tendulkar has scored 13742 runs in 168 Tests at an average of 56.08. He notched up 48 centuries and 55 half-centuries in the process. He has 17598 runs including 46 centuries, in his 442 ODIs. Tendulkar also holds the distinction of being the first batsman to score a double century in the ODI cricket. But despite these astonishing figures, Tendulkar remains hungry for more runs and after getting his fifth Test double century in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
