Notably, Tendulkar is considered the greatest ever to have played the game by many fans. Despite having retired from international cricket in December 2012, he continues to own a plethora of batting records.

With 18426 runs in ODIs and 15921 runs in Tests, he is currently the leading run-getter in both formats. Furthermore, he has also achieved the astounding feat of completing a hundred centuries in international cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara became the only non-Australian cricketers to have a gate named after them at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) following the unveiling of the special gates at the iconic venue.

The gates will be used by players from visiting teams to access the playing field. Expressing his excitement over the same, Tendulkar wrote on Instagram:

"Such a special honour at one of my favourite grounds in the world. 🏟️ Having my name there along with my good friend @brianlaraofficial is one of the best gifts we could've got. Thank you @ourscg!"

It is worth mentioning that Sachin Tendulkar has a phenomenal record at the SCG. He averages 157 at the venue after having mustered 785 runs in five Tests. He has hit three tons at the ground, including a spectacular knock of 241* against Australia in January 2004.
