Cricket Milestones Reached on 6 November

This date has produced several of the bigger career-run landmarks in the records covered here. Sachin Tendulkar brought up 15000 Test runs in the India v West Indies match of 2011, late in a career that had already spanned many years. Arjuna Ranatunga reached 7000 ODI runs in the India v Sri Lanka match of 1998, and Dimuth Karunaratne brought up 2000 Test runs in the Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka match of 2016. Lower down the scale, Najmul Hossain Shanto passed 1000 ODI runs in the Bangladesh v Sri Lanka match of 2023, Dilruwan Perera reached 1000 Test runs in the Sri Lanka v England match of 2018, and Faf du Plessis brought up 1000 ODI runs in the Pakistan v South Africa match of 2013.

Bowling landmarks on this date ranged from entry points to deeper career tallies. Harbhajan Singh reached 300 Test wickets in the India v Australia match of 2008, and Rangana Herath passed 350 Test wickets in the Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka match of 2016, a tally well beyond the entry landmarks also recorded that day. Scott Styris reached 100 ODI wickets in the South Africa v New Zealand match of 2005. In the shortest format, Ish Sodhi reached 150 T20I wickets in the New Zealand v West Indies match of 2025, and Fidel Edwards reached 150 Test wickets in the India v West Indies match of 2011.

A cluster of landmarks mark earlier stages of a career, the 500-run mark across formats. Rachin Ravindra brought up 500 T20I runs in the New Zealand v West Indies match of 2025, while in the same Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka Test of 2016 that produced Karunaratne's and Herath's milestones, Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva both brought up 500 Test runs. Keaton Jennings reached the same 500 Test run mark in the Sri Lanka v England match of 2018. In ODIs, Ambati Rayudu brought up 500 runs in the India v Sri Lanka match of 2014, Ramnaresh Sarwan did so in the India v West Indies match of 2002, and Carlton Baugh brought up 500 Test runs in the India v West Indies match of 2011.
