Sachin - The Maestro carrying INDIA forward !!!

In yet another first, India's all time great Sachin Tendulkar became the only person to scale the 14,000 peak in Test cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar cracked his 49th Test hundred in the on-going 2nd Test against Australia and is roasting the Kangaroos scoring 103* along with Murali Vijay who is batting on  73*.

This Century makes Sachin the only Indian to score 6 centuries in a calender year.. Maestro carrying India forward !!!

Sachin needed 27 runs to reach into the 14,000 runs landmark, when the 37-year-old cut off-spinner Nathan Hauritz through coverpoint for a boundary and accomplish the feat in his 171st Test.

A packed Chinnaswamy Stadium crowd rose and gave the Indian maestro a standing ovation as Australian skipper Ricky Ponting came up to congratulate Tendulkar who is unbeaten on 44.

Tendulkar also became the highest Test run-getter at Chinnaswamy Stadium scoring in excess of 600, eclipsing Sunil Gavaskar's total.
