5 Fastest cricketers to 10000 runs in ODIs

#3 Sourav Ganguly, 263 innings

Sourav Ganguly is one of the greatest ODI skippers of all-time

Sourav Ganguly is a name that will bring a lot of emotions to Indian fans. He is one of the greatest ODI skippers of all-time and made his impact on Indian cricket with his aggressive approach. He opened the innings with Sachin Tendulkar for the most part of his one-day career and the duo is the most successful opening pair to this day.

Indian were in Sri Lanka for the Triangular Indian Oil Cup in 2005 involving West Indies. India opened their account with a win against West Indies and were pitted against Sri Lanka for their next game. India batted first and scored just 220 runs. Sourav Ganguly reached the 10000 run milestone in this game and scored 51 runs off 110 deliveries with a forgettable strike-rate of 46.36.

To no one's surprise, India went on to lose this game as the hosts chased it down with two overs and six wickets remaining. It is unfortunate that a game in which 'dada' reached a very memorable milestone had to end in a loss for the national side.
