Tendulkar completes 10,000 runs in ODIs

A Correspondent

A nice firm push, to mid off, off the last ball of the 18th over of the Indian innings produced a milestone - 10,000 runs in one day cricket, in his 266th match, with 50 fifties and 27 centuries.

Sachin Tendulkar, thus, became the first in history to reach that milestone, and interestingly, in the list of top ten run-scorers, he also has the highest average, of 42+ at this point in time besides a strike rate of 80+

India, having been put in by Steve Waugh in the third ODI at the Nehru Stadium in Indore, were 80/1 at that point, with Tendulkar batting 34 and VVS Laxman keeping him company.
