http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar, for his tremendous services for the game over more than two decades, asserting that he is honoured to have rubbed shoulders with
the God of Cricket.
Laxman outpoured his heartiest feelings on the completion of Tendulkar’s 22nd year in International cricket. The Master Blaster appeared on the world stage on 15 November, 1989 at a very early age of 16. He played his first International game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755
at Karachi.
Nobody could expect at that time that the teenager would form a new era of professional cricket and make history. Sachin has been consistently at the top of his game since then, playing 182 Test and 453 ODI matches. Along with conferring a number of iconic
titles on his nation, he has emerged as the world’s highest scorer in both Test and ODI formats with 15048 and 18111 runs respectively. Apart from this, he has 99 International centuries to his name.
Laxman has termed Tendulkar as a match-winner and a great cricketer to play with. Talking to the media yesterday, the stylish batter said, “For me personally, it's a great honour and privilege to play alongside Sachin and I and a lot of our team-mates feel
it's a great honour to be playing with him.”
He further told, “It's a great achievement. I am sure he will cross more and more years for the country. Everyone knows what a legend he has been for the country and what a match-winner he has been for so many years. Words cannot describe what he has contributed
to Indian and world cricket."
In the ongoing 2nd Test match between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at Eden Gardens, Laxman lashed 176 runs not-out in his team’s first innings, while Sachin contributed 38. Thus, India declared their innings after amassing 631 runs for the loss of 7
wickets.
Laxman, who is also known as 'Very Very Special' for his excellent batting skills, has been playing for his nation since 1996. He has 128 Test and 86 ODI matches to his credit so far.
