Career Landmarks Cricket Has Reached on 28 October
RUN LANDMARKS ACROSS FORMATS
Four Test and three one-day run landmarks fell on this date, spanning three decades. Inzamam-ul-Haq reached 7000 Test runs in Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 2004, the same fixture in which Chaminda Vaas brought up 2000 Test runs. Mominul Haque passed 5000 Test runs and Brandon King 500 Test runs, both in Bangladesh v West Indies, 2026. Chris Woakes reached 500 Test runs in Bangladesh v England, 2016. In ODI cricket, Shahid Afridi crossed 3000 runs in Pakistan v Zimbabwe, 2001, Robin Singh reached 1000 in Australia v India, 1998, and Rachin Ravindra brought up 500 in Australia v New Zealand, 2023.
BOWLING MILESTONES
The bowling landmarks were led by Roston Chase, who reached 100 Test wickets in Bangladesh v West Indies, 2026, the same match that produced Nayeem Hasan's 50th Test wicket. Both bowling milestones arrived alongside the batting landmarks for Mominul Haque and Brandon King in that fixture. In white-ball cricket, George Linde reached 25 T20I wickets in Pakistan v South Africa, 2025. The same 25-wicket mark in ODIs was reached by Roger Telemachus in South Africa v New Zealand, 2000, and by Kris Srikkanth in India v Pakistan, 1989, eleven years apart.
HUNDREDS AND APPEARANCES
Centuries and appearance landmarks completed the day. Inzamam-ul-Haq's 7000th Test run came alongside his 20th Test hundred, both in Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 2004. Gary Kirsten made his 10th ODI hundred in South Africa v New Zealand, 2000, and MS Dhoni his 5th ODI hundred in India v Australia, 2009. Dwayne Bravo and Ken Rutherford each scored the first ODI hundred of their careers, Bravo in England v West Indies, 2006, and Rutherford in India v New Zealand, 1994. The date also marked appearance milestones: Shiv Chanderpaul played his 200th ODI in England v West Indies, 2006, and Mitchell Santner his 100th in Australia v New Zealand, 2023.
