India vs Australia 3rd ODI ScoreCard : Tendulkar closes in on another milestone

October 31, 2009

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be first in the queue to congratulate Sachin Tendulkar if he reaches yet another milestone in Saturday’s third one-day international against Australia.

The ‘Little Master’ is 79 runs away from reaching 17,000 runs in ODIs, already more than 3,000 ahead of nearest challenger Sanath Jayasuriya.

“It would be a milestone indeed,” said Dhoni. “He is such a great batsman. Whenever he walks out we all expect big scores. He not only scores himself but also guides his partner.”

India are expected to stick with the same side which beat Australia by 99 runs in the second ODI to square the series at 1-1.
