#3 Sachin Tendulkar’s highest Test score
The Little Master while scoring his 34th Test century, equaling the then record of most Test centuries with Sunil Gavaskar, had plenty of chances going on his way. The match played against Bangladesh at Dhaka saw Sachin Tendulkar being given a lifeline when he was yet to open his account, thanks to a dropped catch by Mohammad Ashraful of the bowling of Mashrafe Mortaza.

With a couple of more catches going down from hands of Habibul Bashar and Rajin Saleh, Sachin went on to make a magnificent hundred and thereby achieving parity with Gavaskar’s record. India went on to win the match by an innings and 140 runs.
Sachin remained unbeaten on 248, his highest Test score which remained the same until he hung his boots. In a career spreading over two decades, Sachin went on to score 51 centuries to his tally.
