Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar has become the first cricketer to reach 15,000 first-class Test runs.

Playing in his 182nd match of his career earlier today, Tendulkar reached the mark on the third day of the first Test against the West Indies when he scored his 28th run in India's second innings with a single off leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo.

He was just 35 runs short of the milestone before the match, but was made to wait until passing the target after he was bowled out for seven in the first innings.

The 38-year-old is currently attempting to record the 100th century of his career.
