Asked by an Australian journalist if he thought Ricky Ponting would better the mark he set, Tendulkar said, “All records are meant to be broken, so we need to see what happens in future. Talk about today and I’m quite pleased it came my way. Don’t know about future. I was 16-year-old and had no target, maybe there is another 16-year-old who won’t be having any target and who knows where he’s going to go?”

And following is the Best shot he played against critics.

“I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I have been around for 19 years and all those 19 years I did not play to prove anything to anyone, not in my first year not in the 10th, 15th or 19th year,”
