Sachin Tendulkar becomes the most capped Test cricketer in cricket history with 169 Test appearances during the third Test of India's tour of Sri Lanka at P. Sara Oval.

En route, he overtakes another long standing veteran for Test cricket, former Australian captain, Steve Waugh. The thirty-seven year old began his career at a sixteen year old against Pakistan and he has certainly come a long way, creating new records along the way. He is also the leading run scorer and just two shy of creating a century of centuries in international cricket.
