Another feather to Tendulkar's cap

Sachin Tendulkar added yet another feather to his cap by becoming the third Indian to complete 18,000 runs in first class cricket during his innings of 159* against Bangaldesh on Saturday.

Sunil Gavaskar and Vijay Hazare are the only two other batsmen to have done so for India. Tendulkar's , however, is the quickest in terms of innings. Also his average is the highest among top-10 Indian batsmen.
