Sachin has crossed 17,000 runs in ODIs. Birth number of Sachin is 6. Numbers 3,6 and 9 are lucky for him. Hence age 36 (3+6=9) is lucky for him. See, he was born on April 24, 1973. It may also be noted that his occult number is 32, which adds up to 5. So, the date November 5 is highly significant for him! Also, notably, it was in the 5th ODI.
