Tendulkar had gone into the second Test match against Australia 27 short of the 14k mark. Tendulkar came into bat after Rahul Dravid had been dismissed by Mitchell Johnson and was involved in a 50-run stand.
Tendulkar then hit a couple of boundaries and got to the 27 he required before the end of the second day’s play at Bangalore. Tendulkar got to his 14000th run when he slapped a boundary off Hauritz through the covers.
Tendulkar also has more than 17500 runs in ODI cricket, apart from possessing an average of 56 in Test matches and 45 in ODI cricket. Tendulkar also scored a double century in an ODI, the first and the only batsman to have done so in ODI cricket.
