"No other pair has crossed even 6,000 runs together in ODIs," the ICC tweeted.
Ganguly responded that they could have scored at least another 4000 runs with the current ODI rules.
"This brings back wonderful memories Dadi. How many more do you think we would've been able to score with the restriction of 4 fielders outside the ring and 2 new balls?" Tendulkar tweeted.
