BANGALORE - Sachin Tendulkar said "using his body cleverly" had helped him become the first man to score 14,000 Test runs on Sunday.
The 37-year-old Indian right-hander backed away to cut Australia off spinner Nathan Hauritz crisply to the boundary, taking him to the milestone in his 171st Test and triggering euphoria in the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The crowd kept roaring and Tendulkar acknowledged the thunderous reception with a raised bat as his teammates in the pavilion rose to clap for him.
