There seems to be no stopping the little man the world has come
to acknowledge as the best batsman of our generation. Continuing
a run glut that has posed insurmountable problems for the
opposition Sachin Tendulkar scored 97 against Sri Lanka, forming
the backbone of the Indian innings. Earlier, the 29-year-old had
broken his own record for the most runs scored in a World Cup,
the 523 runs he scored during the 1996 tournament. After his 97
from 120 balls today, the batting superstar has scored 567 runs.
