On 7th March, 1987,
the legendary opening batsman of India ,Sunil Gavaskar scored the
10,000th career run on the third day of the fourth test against Pakistan
at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad.
As soon as he cut Ijaz Faqih for two runs, he raised his bat in celebration with a big smile on his face. The crowd invaded the ground and play was held up for about 20 minutes.
Gavaskar, playing his 124th and penultimate test, went on to score 63, but the match ended in a draw. It was the first time in 110 years of test match history that a batsman had scored 10,000 runs.
