Tendulkar made history in December 2005, when he scored his record 35 century in Test play against Sri Lanka. The feat was performed in a total of 125 tests and allowed Tendulkar to overcome the prolific Indian run scorer Sunil Gavaskar. In June 2007 Tendulkar reached another milestone when he became the first player to score 15,000 runs in One Day International (ODI), the game, and in January 2010 became the first batsman to score 13,000 runs in the game test. A month later he won a historic "double century" in a contest against South Africa, becoming the first man in history to record 200 runs in an innings ODI individual player. Throughout his long career Tendulkar was consistently ranked among the best hitters in the game. He was often compared to Don Bradman of Australia in its resolute commitment to the careers of scores and the certainty of his strokeplay off both front and back foot.
