Calls India becoming the first team to play its 1000th ODI as a fabulous moment
In his long and illustrious career, Sachin Tendulkar featured in 463 ODIs between 1989 and 2012 and witnessed several milestone moments of Indian cricket.
And ahead of India’s iconic 1000th ODI against the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Tendulkar — the first batter to score a double hundred in ODIs — shared his thoughts with Sportstar on the milestone match and how the game has evolved over the last few decades.
I think it is a fabulous moment because (India’s) first ODI was in 1974 (against England). Now, on Sunday, we will be playing our 1000th ODI, the first team to do so. That would have not been possible without the past and the present players, the past and the present officials of the BCCI and all the people who support Indian cricket wholeheartedly.
