England cricket team captain Alastair Cook has said that Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record for Test runs has yet to come into his sights.
However, Cook had surpassed one mark set by Tendulkar. Cook became the 12th player in history to score 10,000 Test runs.
Cook was also the first Englishman to achieve the feat and, at 31 years and 157 days, the youngest to get to the landmark, breaking Tendulkar’s record by more than five months.
Cook 10,042 runs in 128 Tests is, however, nearly 6,000 runs short of retired star Tendulkar’s record aggregate of 15,921 runs from 200 Tests.
The England skipper has 28 Test hundreds to his name, with his runs having come at an average of 47, whereas Tendulkar bowed out with a record 51 centuries at an average of nearly 54.
