How many more centuries will Sachin add to his record before retiring from test cricket?


Sachin's record breaking list is definitely a record in itself! Despite having such a powerful bio-data he is found to be a very humble man. What makes Sachin a legendary cricketer is his love for cricket. He recovered from so many injuries and still continued making runs with his brilliant bat. His bat was also one of the most heaviest ones of his time (this is also one of his records). What makes Sachin so unique is the class of play. Tendulkar was never a blind hitter. He saw the gaps and played accordingly. His placement was so perfect that the bowlers would get frustrated trying to stop this run sweeping legend. With so many record breaking records with himself Sachin is a batsman whom the world of cricket will never be able to forget. No wonder the record set by Sachin is too hard to break if anybody breaks them at all. If Sachin hits a century in his last test match it will give a wonderful finishing touch to his par excellence record breaking performances.
