10 Shocking facts about Indian cricketers
Take a look at some of the astonishing facts about some Indian cricketers that are not known by many.
1. Sachin Tendulkar got dismissed on a duck for the first and the last time in Ranji Trophy
Sachin Tendulkar registered a lot of records to his name in his international career. In November 2013, he bid adieu to his cricketing career but the former India stalwart is still the batter with the most runs in international cricket across all formats, chalking up 34357 runs in 782 innings of 664 matches.
Along with international cricket, Tendulkar’s first-class numbers are brilliant as well. The former India stalwart played for Mumbai in 310 matches and scored 25396 runs in 490 innings. Till January 2009, he also held the record of not getting dismissed on nought in the Ranji Trophy.
However, playing the final of the 2008-09 Ranji Trophy, the then 18-year-old Bhuvneshwar Kumar got rid of him on nil and became the first and only bowler in history to send him back to the pavilion on a duck in the annals of Ranji Trophy.
