#360stats: How Tillakaratne Dilshan reached 10,000 ODI runs

Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan on Sunday became the 11th member of the exclusive 10,000 ODI run club. He is the fourth Sri Lankan to the milestone, joining three Indians and one Australian, South African, Pakistani and West Indian in doing so.

Dilshan is the quickest (in just 293 innings) to reach the landmark among his fellow Sri Lankans.

Here, we look at the statistics behind Dilshan’s illustrious ODI career that began more than 15 years ago at Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
