Tendulkar scales another peak

Sachin Tendulkar scaled yet another peak during his innings of 141 against Pakistan in the second one-day international in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.

The batting maestro became the first ever batsman to complete 13,000 runs in the shorter version of the game when he flicked Mohammad Sami to the deep backward square region for a single to take his score to 51.

The little master had made ducks in his first two innings in one-day internationals and had not made the most of his talent until the tour to New Zealand in 1993-94. Opening the innings for the first time in the second match of the series, Tendulkar set Auckland ablaze with a wonderful exhibition of power hitting, smashing 82 runs off a mere 49 deliveries. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength.

Tendulkar, in fact, is the only batsman to have crossed the 10,000-run mark. Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul Haq with 9,607 runs from 309 matches is distant second. Former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin is third with 9,378 runs from 334 matches.
