Sachin overtakes Jayasuriya as most capped ODI player

Sachin Tendulkar once again overtook Sanath Jayasuriya to become most capped player in ODIs.

India’s batting mainstay Sachin Tendulkar once again overtook Sri Lankan master blaster Sanath Jayasuriya to become most capped player in ODIs by appearing in his 404th ODI cricket match, against Pakistan.

While they have been playing catching up game in the shorter version, 34-year-old Tendulkar has a distinct lead over Jayasuriya in Tests, having played 140 matches, compared to Jayasuriya’s 108th which is underway at Brisbane.
