Sachin Tendulkar is a renowned Indian cricketer and former captain of the national team.
Joe Root has been making significant progress towards Tendulkar's record for most Test runs scored, with his recent century in the 4th Test bringing him closer to the milestone. According to ICC Cricket, Root now sits only behind Tendulkar in the all-time Test run-makers list.

A recent article on The Telegraph predicted when Root might go past Tendulkar for all-time Test runs, fueling speculation about the achievement. According to a video from the Home of Cricket, Tendulkar himself has expressed admiration for Root's progress. A news article on ICC Cricket provides further context on Root's recent achievement.
