Hyderabad, Mumbai cricket fans hail Tendulkar's 17K run ODI feat | Cricket fans here and in Mumbai have hailed batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's landmark feat of 17,000 one-day international runs. Tendulkar achieved
the record against Australia in the fifth game of the seven-match series here
on Thursday evening. Tendulkar, who is to complete two decades in the game at
the international level later this month, scored 175 during his side's unsuccessful
attempt of chasing Australia 's massive 350 runs down. He was adjudged man of
the match for his superb innings in the game. "He (Sachin Tendulkar) comes off
with flying colours in every test. I would want to congratulate him for his 17,000
runs," Mohan, a Tendulkar fan, said in Hyderabad . An Australian, who was in the
city for the game also praised Tendulkar for his brave effort. "Yes, I thought
India played well...it was a pitch with lot of runs in it, so 350 was a huge total
but also very good, I thought India's batting sort of let them down a bit. Obviously
Sachin was amazing but he needs someone at the other end to support him up, he
cant to..." Cera said. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan also extended his
greetings to Tendulkar. "Every time he (Sachin Tendulkar) sets a new example and
limit of success in front of us. I congratulate him and the entire country is
proud of him," said Bachchan. Tendulkar, 36, holds the records for the most Test
runs (12,773), Test hundreds (42) and one-day hundreds (45). India trails 3-2
in the seven-match series. |
