West Indies Cricket Fans

In yet another first, India's all time great Sachin Tendulkar became the only person to scale the 14,000 peak in Test cricket during their five-day match against Australia.

Needing 27 runs to reach the landmark, the 37-year-old cut off-spinner Nathan Hauritz through cover-point for a boundary and accomplished the feat in his 171st Test.

A packed Chinnaswamy Stadium crowd rose and gave the Indian maestro a standing ovation as Australian skipper Ricky Ponting came up to congratulate Tendulkar. At 12178, Ponting remains Tendulkar's nearest rival.
