5 great batsmen and their favourite overseas Test venues

Jacques Kallis enjoyed batting at the Oval

1. Sachin Tendulkar – Sydney

Sachin’s record at the SCG is quite phenomenal

Arguably the greatest batsman of all time, Sachin Tendulkar, has enjoyed the status of a cricketing god not only in India but all over the world. The master batsman holds numerous batting records in Test cricket including the most career runs and the most centuries.

One of the things that made Sachin reach the pinnacle of success was his ability to play well in foreign conditions. He particularly thrived while playing in Australia and enjoyed unprecedented success in the country, especially at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Sachin Tendulkar played 9 innings at the SCG, scoring 785 runs at a mind-boggling average of 157 and a high score of 241 not out. Tendulkar ended his love affair with the ground in style, too, as he scored 80 in his final innings there.
