How Many Matches Did Sachin Tendulkar Play?
500
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is recognized as one of the geniuses of cricket during modern times. His talent was never in doubt right from the time he shot into the limelight with his unbroken stand of 664 with friend and fellow Mumbai player Vinod Kambli while playing for his school Sharadashram Vidyamandir in a Harris Shield match. This was a world record, which was broken in the year 2006 by two school boys from Hyderabad.
Sachin lived up to the promise of his genius, and in a career spanning almost 18 years (he made his Test debut in 1989 against arch-rivals Pakistan at Karachi, and his one-day international début also against Pakistan at Gujranwala during the same series), he has to his name a huge number of records. In all, so far Sachin has played 135 test matches and 381 one-day international matches (these do not include the two warm-up games for World Cup 2007 against The Netherlands and West Indies).
