Cricket Milestones Reached on 25 October

Several batters crossed significant run landmarks on this date. Hashim Amla brought up 6000 ODI runs in the India v South Africa match of 2015, and Travis Head reached 3000 ODI runs against India in 2025. Daryll Cullinan passed the same 3000 ODI run mark in the England v South Africa game of 1998, as did Allan Lamb in the India v England match of 1989. Mitchell Marsh brought up 1000 T20I runs against Sri Lanka in 2022. In the same India v Australia fixture of 2009, both Harbhajan Singh and James Hopes reached 1000 ODI runs. Shahadat Hossain reached 500 Test runs against Zimbabwe in 2014, while Nicky Boje, Kiran More and Mansoor Akhtar all passed 500 ODI runs, in 2000, 1992 and 1987 respectively.

The day also produced bowling and batting landmarks of varying rarity. Rashid Khan reached 100 T20I wickets against Scotland in 2021, and Ishant Sharma reached 50 ODI wickets in the same India v Australia match of 2009 that saw Harbhajan Singh and James Hopes pass 1000 ODI runs. Jacques Kallis scored his 10th Test hundred against Bangladesh in 2002. Faf du Plessis and Ross Taylor each scored their 5th ODI hundred, in the India v South Africa match of 2015 and the Zimbabwe v New Zealand match of 2011 respectively. Chetan Sharma and Saleem Malik both scored their 1st ODI hundred, in the India v England match of 1989 and the Pakistan v Sri Lanka match of 1987.

Appearances also reached landmark figures on this date. Virat Kohli played his 200th ODI in the India v New Zealand match of 2017. The same game saw Johnny Taylor reach his 200th ODI as well, meaning two players hit the identical appearance milestone in the same fixture. Two hundred matches in one format is a mark of sustained selection and durability, built up over years of international cricket. For both players, the landmark came in a single shared contest between India and New Zealand, a detail that stands out among the appearance milestones recorded for this date.
