Can something stop this guy? I think nothing can do that!!! He is piling centuries one after the other and we can't see a single batsman anywhere near to his cricket records in both the forms of international cricket viz. test and one dayers.

Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian batsman reaches his 48th century mark today against Srilanka in the 2nd test. His innings is a fighting one when India was facing a danger of following on against the huge first innings total of Srilanka. Sachin's total international centuries are now 94 (with 46 tons in one day internationals).

Stumped on 99 in test cricket!

Cricket Records

The recent India Vs Srilanka test series saw Virendar Sehwag getting stumped out on 99 while he tried go down the wicket and hit Suraj Randiv for a big shot. Unfortunately he was stumped on 99!

This is the third time in the test cricket history that a batsman is stumped out on 99... just one short of a ton!

Pakistani batsman Maqsood Ahmed, New Zealand's John Wright and India's Virendar Sehwag are the three unlucky batsman who have achieved his unwanted feat in test cricket.
