In the following ODI series against Sri Lanka, Tendulkar was sidelined
due to injury. However, during the following Australia tour of India, he
returned to fitness and form, scoring 13 and 49 in the first test
before making 88 in the first innings of the second test, thus breaking
the record for most number of Test runs held by Brian Lara. He also
reached the 12,000 run mark when he was on 61. He made a fifty in the
third test and 109 in the fourth, as India won the series 2–0 and
regained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
