Sachin Tendulkar today became the first batsman in the history of one-day cricket to cross 16,000 runs in the shorter format of the game.The Master Blaster achieved this feat today off the last ball of the 12th over bowled by Sri Lankan veteran medium pacer ##Chaminda Vaas## in the second match of the ongoing Tri-Series at the Gabba in Brisbane. When the master batsman tucked Vaas's last delivery towards mid-wicket, the giant screen on the stadium put up the record and the crowd rose to its feet as one to acknowledge the feat of the one of cricket's best batsmen ever. Tendulkar has played 408 one-day matches in a career spanning 18 years and three months scoring over 16,000 runs at an astronomical average of 44.24 per innings (without taking the current innings into account) at a strike rate of 85.47 per innings. Tendulkar has scored 41 centuries in the one-day format besides going past the half-century mark on 87 occasions. Tendulkar has 80 hundreds in international cricket, that includes 39 in Test matches. The Little Champion has also turned his arm over quite efficiently for the team in one-day cricket, claiming 154 scalps including two five-wicket hauls and four four-fors. in-depth coverage > Sachin Tendulkar > |
