Tendulkar played his first Test against Pakistan in 1989 and became the highest capped player by playing in his 169th match.

The game has undergone a huge transformation ever since Sachin Tendulkar made his debut in 1989 but one change that the iconic Indian batsman notices most in the last 20 years is that Test cricket has become more attacking following the Twenty20 revolution.

Just ahead of the third Test match against Sri Lanka, Tendulkar was asked what has changed in the last 20 years and he replied that the shorter versions of the game have impacted Test cricket in some way.

"There have been changes in the 20 years I have been part of. In One-day cricket there have been changes. Introduction of Twenty20 cricket and Test cricket also possibly is getting more attacking," Tendulkar told reporters.

"I feel batsmen are willing to take more chances and that`s probably due to one-day cricket and latest introduction of Twenty20. Because of that they are getting more innovative and prepared to take some risks," he said.

The 37-year-old said he had doubt of excelling after playing his first Test.
