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.

"Balance Changes": Sachin Tendulkar On ODI Cricket Rule He Dislikes

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar weighed in on a specific ODI rule which he thinks changes the balance of the game and puts more pressure on the bowlers. Talking to news18.com, Sachin was quite vocal against the rule of two new balls being used in an ODI which he thinks, eventually makes it harder for the bowlers to bring in reverse swing.

India vs West Indies: Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma Pair 94 Runs Away From Joining Elite List Led By Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly Duo

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are just 94 runs short of a milestone as a pair ahead of India's ODI series against West Indies starting Sunday. The duo is eighth in the list of pairs with the highest partnership runs in ODIs with their 4906 runs and needs just 94 runs more to become the eighth pair to complete 5000 partnership runs in the 50-over format. This elite list is led by Team India greats Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, who put together 8227 runs in 176 innings at an average of 47.55 runs.

India vs West Indies: Virat Kohli Needs A Century In Series vs West Indies To Break This Massive ODI Record

Virat Kohli has not scored a century in over two years in any format of the game, but it's not like the former India captain has been woefully out of form. He has just been unable to kick on and reach the three figures mark. Virat Kohli's last century came in 2019, and despite not scoring a century in 2020 and 2021, he averaged over 35 (in all formats combined). The year 2022 has started well for the ex-India skipper. In 4 matches (all formats), he has scored 224 runs at an average of 44.80 and with the responsibility of captaining the team off his shoulders now, surely, it's a matter of time that Kohli reaches the magical three-figure mark.

Rule tweaks behind ballooning ODI scores: Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar takes nothing away from the current crop of batsmen but the Indian great believes a slew of rule changes have led to ballooning scores in one-day cricket. India will become the first team to play 1000 one-day internationals when they host West Indies in Sunday's series opener in Ahmedabad. Tendulkar has featured in 463 of them and his tally of 18,426 runs remains an unmatched benchmark even a decade after he played the last of his ODIs.
