The success of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is a prime example of what can be accomplished when extraordinary talent is combined with unwavering work habits. The young prodigy, who was destined for greatness from the moment he faced Pakistan in his 1989 Test debut, went on to dominate cricket for the ensuing 24 years.
Tendulkar was head and shoulders above the competition throughout those 24 years of supremacy, amassing a staggering 34,357 runs from a total of 664 matches across formats, including 200 Tests, 463 ODIs, and one T20I. Following The Master Blaster comes Kumar Sangakkara, who amassed 28,016 runs throughout the course of his illustrious career.
Recently a journalist from Pakistan, Farid Khan, took to Twitter and compared the Pakistani legendary batter Inzamam Ul Haq with Sachin and went on to say that the former Pakistan batter was a bigger match-winner compared to the legendary Indian batter.

It is so hard to digest this comparison as when the numbers of the Master Blaster are compared to any of the cricketers in the contemporary world, then the difference between the class can be seen evidently. In contemporary cricket, it is only Virat Kohli who has scored - 21,884 at an average of 56.40- who is primed to scale Mount. Tendulkar. The Pakistan-based journalist seems to have forgotten the fact that, recently Inzamam uploaded a video about Sachin Tendulkar and went on to claim the legendary India batter as the batter of the generation.
In one of his recent videos, Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said that he believes that the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was born to play cricket and he is looking forward to seeing if anyone from the current era can break the Mumbaikar’s records.
The Pakistan batter also added, “It still amazes me that at a tender age of 16-17, he made his international debut and did such great things. This is only possible by some extraordinary cricketer, in fact, if there is anything above extraordinary then that is Sachin.”
Here is how Twitter has trolled the journalist after this comparison made by Khan;
In terms of belly fat? Yes. He was quite bigger than Sachin on that parameter.
