sunil gavaskar became the first-ever cricketer to score 10000 runs in test cricket on this ground — a feat he achieved against pakistan in 1987. seven years later kapil dev claimed his 432nd test wicket on this ground to become the highest wicket taker in the world, breaking sir richard hadlee's record for the most number of wickets in test matches here. before he became the highest wicket taker, kapil dev made a nine-wicket haul in his career here at the motera ground. in 1996, the ground hosted a low-scoring test match against south africa, where the visitors faltered while chasing a paltry 170 for a win to end up at 105 all out. javagal srinath scalped six wickets in the fourth innings of the match. however, south africa had their revenge when they bowled india out for 76 runs in the first session of the test match in 2008 and then went on to win it by an innings and 90 runs. sachin tendulkar became the first-ever cricketer to score 18,000 runs in one day cricket in a match against australia during 2011 cricket world cup.
