Kambli was ‘Piddi’ ahead of Sachin’s game, a record in which the friend was overshadowed

New Delhi. Sachin Tendulkar is considered the God of Cricket. By scoring centuries in his/her career spanning over two decades, the Master Blaster made a record in his/her name which seems impossible to break. Sachin Tendulkar, who played 200 Tests and 463 ODIs, scored more than 34 thousand runs in his/her international career. Where Sachin was successful in debuting in the Indian team at the age of just 15. At the same time, his/her childhood friend Vinod Kambli, who had played with Sachin at school level, had to wait a long time for his/her debut in Team India. Even though there cannot be any comparison between the games of Sachin and Kambli, there is one case in which Kambli is ahead of his/her friend.

This difference is not very big. Kambli is ahead of Sachin in terms of test average by a slight margin. This may sound a bit surprising but it is true.
