Nov 2015: First to get 10,000 Ranji runs
Archiman Bhaduri
Ex-Mumbai man is first to 10,000 Ranji trophy runs
The moment Wasim Jaffer hit a boundary off Bengal pacer Veer Pratap Singh on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy Group ` A' match in Nov 2015, the entire Vidarbha team stood up to applaud his unique feat. The Vidarbha opener walked into the record books by becoming the first cricketer to score 10,000 runs in Ranji Trophy , the country's premier first-class domestic tournament. The former India and Mumbai opener is also the leading run-getter in Duleep Trophy and the Irani Cup.True to his style, the unassuming Jaffer maintained his composure, refusing to get carried away by the occasion. Jaffer, who needed just seven runs to scale Mount 10K, was dismissed by Pragyan Ojha soon after for nine. His Ranji tally now stands at 10,002.
Jaffer scored most of his runs for Mumbai, before moving to Vidarbha this season.
