Cricket Milestones Reached on 8 November

Jacques Kallis reached two landmarks on this date in different years, bringing up 11000 ODI runs against Pakistan in 2010 and 9000 Test runs against New Zealand in 2007, underlining the length of his career in both formats. Gary Kirsten passed 6000 Test runs against Sri Lanka in 2002, while Aravinda de Silva brought up 7000 ODI runs against South Africa in 1997. Ricky Ponting reached 2000 ODI runs against Pakistan in 1998, early in a career that would run for years afterwards. AB de Villiers brought up 4000 ODI runs against Pakistan in 2010, the same fixture in which Kallis passed 11000, and Martin Crowe reached 4000 ODI runs against Zimbabwe in 1992.

Smaller aggregates mark earlier stages of a career. Rohit Sharma brought up 3000 T20I runs against Namibia in 2021, and Abhishek Sharma reached 1000 T20I runs against Australia in 2025. In ODI cricket, Gautam Gambhir passed 1000 runs against Pakistan in 2007 and Adam Gilchrist did the same against Pakistan in 1998, while Joshua Inglis reached 500 ODI runs against Pakistan in 2024 and Shaun Pollock reached the same mark against Sri Lanka in 1997. In Tests, Glenn Turner passed 500 runs against Pakistan in 1969, Craig Wishart reached 500 against Bangladesh in 2001, and Farveez Maharoof reached 500 against Australia in 2007.

Bowling landmarks recorded on this date range from half-centuries of wickets to lower, more recent thresholds. Dale Steyn reached 50 ODI wickets against Zimbabwe in 2009, and Stuart Clark reached 50 Test wickets against Sri Lanka in 2007, both wicket-takers moving past their first half-century in the format. Among the smaller totals, Abrar Ahmed reached 25 ODI wickets against South Africa in 2025 and Faheem Ashraf reached 25 T20I wickets against Zimbabwe in 2020, each marking an earlier stage in a bowling career than the fifty-wicket marks reached by Steyn and Clark.
