Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has reached another milestone in his career by completing a phenomenal 30,000 runs in international cricket during the ongoing Ahmedabad Test against Sri Lanka on Friday.

Sachin Tendulkar should “keep off the political pitch” for his own well-being, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray said Monday in response to the cricket maestro’s comments last week that “Mumbai belongs to all”.

Like yourself, there seems to be no limit to Tendulkar’s genius too. The entire country is celebrating his 20th year in international cricket.

Ending a fairly long wait, batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar finally crossed the 17,000-run mark in the the fifth One-day international against Australia here this evening.

An epic journey that began with a blob has now clocked 17,000 One-Day International runs. Sachin Tendulkar made his ODI debut way back in 1989 on a December day at Gujranwala in Pakistan. He lasted just two deliveries as Wasim Akram caught him off Waqar Younis but it was a mere stumble before the giant stride into greatness that has lasted two decades.
