Sourav Ganguly achieved a very important milestone in the Asia Cup match against Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday, which almost went unnoticed.

When his score reached 26, the Indian captain completed his 4,000 runs in day-night one-day internationals. He was playing in his 114th match and 111th innings under lights.

Ganguly became only the fourth batsman in ODI history to do so after fellow teammate Sachin Tendulkar, Australia's Mark Waugh and Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya.

Ganguly's first day-night match was against Sri Lanka at this same ground in 1996-97. Since then he has not looked back.

The following table gives summary of Ganguly's performance in day-night matches against all countries:
