Sachin Tendulkar completes 2000 World Cup runs
New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar accomplished yet another milestone on Wednesday as he completed 2000 runs in World Cup matches.
Sachin, who is already the highest scorer in World Cups, smashed a boundary of the last ball of a Ryan ten Doeschate over to reach the feat.
The 37-year-old, who came into his 40th World Cup match with 1982 runs to his name, first played at cricket's showpiece tournament in 1992.
Tendulkar was later dismissed for 27 off 22 balls, caught near the long-off boundary by Bradley Kruger off the bowling of Pieter Seelaar. The next player on the list is Australian skipper Ricky Ponting, who has 1,577 runs in 42 matches.
