Who was the first Indian to score 10,000 runs in men’s ODI cricket?

Last Updated:

Cricket records are best understood through the match, opponent, venue and format in which they were created. Indian competitive examinations often connect a player with a year, series, trophy or ground. Reading those links together helps distinguish similar-looking options and prevents confusion between Test, ODI and T20I achievements. The relevant fact here belongs to major career run milestones in one-day cricket.

ASachin Tendulkar
BSunil Gavaskar
CSourav Ganguly
DRahul Dravid
Correct Answer: Sachin TendulkarYour Answer: A

Explanation

Sachin Tendulkar is correct because sachin Tendulkar crossed 10,000 ODI runs against Australia in 2001. Sunil Gavaskar does not match this specific event or record; it is a separate cricket reference. Sourav Ganguly is likewise connected with a different career, match or milestone. Rahul Dravid belongs to another context and therefore cannot satisfy the precise wording of the question.
