It is an achievement for all of us, the entire nation should be proud of this: Sachin Tendulkar on India’s 1000th ODI
And on this occasion, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who played a stupendous 463 ODIs for India, congratulated the country’s cricket fraternity. Tendulkar, who had been part of India’s 200th, 300th, 400th, 500th, 600th, 700th, and 800th ODIs, said, “India playing their 1000th ODI is a huge milestone. The first ODI was played in 1974 and now in 2022 we are playing the 1000th ODI.” When the Indian men's team faced England in their first-ever ODI at Headingley, Leeds on July 13, 1974, no one really would have expected India to become the first nation to reach the milestone of playing 1000 ODIs.
On the eve of India's 1000th ODI, Sachin Tendulkar speaks up for bowlers
Sachin Tendulkar special were the three constants for an Indian from the 1990s to 2010. “Sachin kitne pe hain yaar” was the question often asked rather than India’s score. The refreshing approach he showed towards batting, especially in limited-overs cricket, even as a 16-year-old hitting a 17-ball 53 in an exhibition match in Peshawar, had the fans hooked for all the 463 appearances he made for India. “I showed I could play a few shots and generate power for a guy who doesn’t have a big frame and earned an ODI spot for myself,” is his modest assessment of his heroics against Abdul Qadir, Wasim Akram and Mushtaq Ahmed, in what could be the first Twenty20 game ever played, as rain ruled out a full international match and because of the huge crowd presence, India and Pakistan decided to play an exhibition match of 20 overs per innings. “Not a bad strike-rate even in today’s T20 era,” he later says, shedding a few ounces of that modesty.
