3 things Rohit Sharma has achieved in Tests that Sachin Tendulkar couldn't

#2. 500 runs in a Test series

In his immensely successful career, Sachin Tendulkar could never score 500 runs in a Test series.

In his immensely successful career, Sachin Tendulkar could never manage to score 500 runs in a Test series even once. In fact, the highest tally that Tendulkar could muster in a Test series was 493 at an average of 70.43 when India toured Australia during 2007-08.

On the other hand, in the current series against South Africa, Rohit Sharma has already amassed a colossal 529 runs from just 4 innings. He also recorded his highest score and maiden double hundred in Test cricket on October 20th when he smashed an ethereal 212 off just 255 balls against the hapless South African attack.

Scoring 500 runs in a Test series is an achievement that has evaded many greats of the game, but Rohit has already managed to cross that mark.
