The Cricket Legendary Sachin Tendulkar has announced the retirement from Test format after he will be appearing 200th Test against the West Indies in November at Mumbai. The below list of the names are my suggestion who is going to replace his place in Test.

   The young professional cricket player from Mumbai.He was the highest run scorer in CLT20 in 2013.He has played good cricket in both IPL and CLT20 for Rajasthan Royals.He has scored more runs in domestic format cricket. So he also in the list for getting sachin place.
3.Suresh Raina:
   The talented cricketer from Uttar Pradesh who plays for chennai super kings. He also played more short format game for india but still he didnt put his place strong in test format. so he also in the list for get sachin place
