The statistics of these two players in their individual games against each other add a higher value to this tribute.

He has taken 149 wickets in 39 Tests against India at a brilliant average of 25.47 with six five-wicket hauls. This establishes him as one of the most dreaded bowlers India has ever faced in the game. Conversely, Tendulkar has also had brilliant success against England. In 32 Tests against them he scored 2,535 runs at an average of 51.73 which shows how steady he was against their bowling attack. One of his finest innings was the 193 that he scored at Headingley in 2002 which incidentally was the same venue where he had previously played for Yorkshire as their first overseas player in 1992.
