"Once the records and the hundreds started to be racked up,” said Hussain while talking to the media reporters today, “he (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607) turned into a run-machine.

is playing shots again," he added further.

Tendulkar is just a century away from his hundredth Test ton and must be eager to set the unique record at the historical Lord’s venue when India play England in the opening Test of the series starting on July 21.
