Former Indian cricket team fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad picked Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli as Top 5 most prolific batters for the national side in Tests.

"He Pressed Forward...": Allan Donald Decodes Sachin Tendulkar's Tremendous Record In South Africa

Legendary South Africa cricket team fast bowler Allan Donald decoded the reason behind Sachin Tendulkar's tremendous form against the Proteas. While India batters have historically struggled in South Africa, Sachin has scored four Test centuries in five tours to the nation. “It's not an easy place to combat.

Sachin Tendulkar is one of the living legends of the game of cricket. The star batter made his debut in 1989 at the age of 16 and retired in 2013 as one of the best batters in the history of cricket.

Cricket is a game of moments. More than the sounds of the bat and ball, the mini physical, statistical, mental and status-based match-ups and moments that come during a game define the sport and capture the excitement, joy, heartbreak, ecstasy, and sadness it brings.

Though cricket is a team sport, it is individual performances that make or mar teams. It is often individuals who are glorified as 'King' or 'God' or tarred as villains depending on victories or losses. Though fans admire their national teams, one or two players are absolute hot favourites and are followed closely. Slowly and steadily, the fanbases of individual players unravel themselves on social media and inside cricketing arenas. 2023 was no different.

"Left Much To Be Desired...": Sachin Tendulkar Pinpoints Reason Behind India's Crushing Loss

It was a forgettable outing for the Indian cricket team in their last international match of 2023. Against South Africa, India were expected to deliver a great show in what has been called the 'Final Frontier' of the team. However, what resulted on the ground can be called a listless show. After India's first innings ended on 245, South Africa notched a huge 408-run total, courtesy Dean Elgar's 185. In the second innings, Virat Kohli (76) waged a lone battle, as Indians were all out for just 131. India lost the match by an innings and 32 runs.
