In the subsequent series against Bangladesh, Tendulkar returned to
his opening slot and was Man of the Series. He continued by scoring two
consecutive scores of over 90 in the Future Cup against South Africa. He
was the leading run scorer and was adjudged the Man of the Series.[84]
On the second day of the Nottingham Test (28 July 2007) Tendulkar became the third cricketer to complete 11,000 Test runs.[85] In the subsequent One day series against England, Tendulkar was the leading run scorer from India[86]
with an average of 53.42. In the ODI Series against Australia in
October 2007 Tendulkar was the leading Indian run scorer with 278 runs.[87]
Tendulkar was dismissed seven times in 2007 between 90 and 100,
including three times at 99, leading some to suggest that he struggles
to cope with nerves in this phase of his innings. Tendulkar has got out
23 times between 90 and 100 in his international career.[clarification needed] On 8 November 2007 he got out on 99 against Pakistan in an ODI at Mohali to the bowling of Umar Gul.
In the fourth ODI, he got out on 97 (off 102 balls with 16 fours) after
dragging a delivery from Gul on to his stumps, falling short
