Its a big achievement for someone like Malik who at times had to work very hard just to stay in the team and made multiple come backs to play in 4 decades. For Sachin it was not a problem as his position was never a problem.

It feels like he's already been around for that long.

Makes Malik look like a legend, but he's been an average performer at best.
