Cricket Milestones Reached on 10 November

Ten November has produced run landmarks spanning seven decades. Virat Kohli brought up 4000 T20I runs in India v England, 2022, while Alex Hales reached 2000 T20I runs in the same match, and Eoin Morgan had reached 2000 T20I runs earlier, in New Zealand v England, 2019. Hashan Tillakaratne brought up 3000 ODI runs against Zimbabwe in 1998. Abdullah Shafique's 500 ODI runs came against Australia in 2024, a marker early in a career. Moeen Ali and Craig Ervine both brought up 500 T20I runs, in 2021 and 2020 respectively. At the other end of the historical record, Mohinder Amarnath and Brijesh Patel both reached 500 Test runs against New Zealand in 1976, and Lala Amarnath had done so against West Indies back in 1948.

Bowling milestones on this date are scarcer than batting ones, and they span different thresholds. Srinivas Venkataraghavan reached 100 Test wickets against New Zealand in 1976, a substantial landmark for a career built across decades. Keshav Maharaj brought up 50 ODI wickets against Afghanistan in 2023, and Tapash Baisya reached 25 ODI wickets against England in 2003. Vinoo Mankad reached 25 Test wickets against West Indies in 1948, early in the history of Test cricket for India. Together these landmarks range from the first quarter-century of wickets to the century mark, each representing a different stage of a bowling career.

Centuries on this date mark different points in a career. Saeed Anwar reached his 10th ODI hundred against New Zealand in 1996, by then a repeat milestone, while Ricky Ponting's 5th ODI hundred came in Pakistan v Australia, 1998, the same fixture in which Mohammad Yousuf scored his 1st ODI hundred. Jean-Paul Duminy made his 1st ODI hundred against Zimbabwe in 2009. In Tests, Aminul Islam scored his 1st Test hundred against India in 2000, and Hemu Adhikari's 1st Test hundred came against West Indies in 1948, each a maiden three-figure score that stood as a first for the player at that level.
