Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar becomes the highest run scorer in the history of Test match cricket when he surpasses Brian Lara’s highest test score in the Mohali Test Cricket against Australia on 17th October 2008 in the 2nd Test Match against Australia.

Sachin said ”I was disappointed because we had targets and we thought, especially after those crackers went off, we would have to focus on our game and continue batting for a long time. The reverse swing with the old ball was different to the new ball and it took me a fraction longer to adjust. I paid a heavy price for that.”
