Paarl (South Africa): India's Sachin Tendulkar added another feather to his glittering cap when he became the leading scorer in World Cup history at the Boland Park on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old crossed Pakistani Javed Miandad's tally of 1,083 runs when he reached 25 against the Netherlands in the group 'A' league match.

Tendulkar, playing his 304th One-dayer, began the tournament with more runs (11,546) and more centuries (33) than any batsman in Limited Overs cricket.

He has also scored 8,811 runs from 105 Tests with 31 centuries.
