Tillakaratne Dilshan scored 63 runs against Pakistan in the fifth One-Day International (ODI) at Hambantota, before he was run out by a direct hit from Ahmed Shehzad. However, en route to his final score he surpassed the 10,000 ODI run mark and became the only 11th cricketer to do so. It turns out Dilshan in the process even became part of a more exclusive club which has only four other cricketers. A record of a double of at least 10,000 ODI runs and at least 100 wickets. The four other cricketers in the list include Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, Jacques Kallis and Sourav Ganguly. LIVE UPDATES: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 5th ODI at Hambantota

Jayasuriya has the most wickets of the lot with an impressive tally of 323. Kallis follows with 273 wickets, while the man with most runs, Sachin Tenulkar, is third-highest on the wicket list with 154.
