During his innings of 79 against Australia in the fourth one-day international in Chandigarh on Monday, Tendulkar got a few important records on his name.
Tendulkar became the highest run-scorer against Australia in one-day internationals when his score reached 23. He surpassed Desmond Haynes' tally of 2,262 runs. Interestingly, Tendulkar needed 13 matches lesser than Haynes to obliterate his record.
