Ex-Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly had mixed feelings after returning to the Indian team from a four-match ICC match ban with a hard-working 51 and becoming the third batsman in history to score 10,000 one-day international runs.

Ganguly said he was "satisfied" to have become the third batsman in history to have scored 10,000 runs but was disappointed with the result.

"To be among the first three batsmen to reach 10,000 runs and to be the second Indian after the great Sachin Tendulkar is very satisfying," said Ganguly, who trails only Tendulkar (13,640 runs) and Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq (10,933 runs).

"I am very happy because when I started in 1996 I was thought to be more of a Test player. It's been nine years and I still have some fuel left in the tank.

"But I still can't understand how we can lose such a game after having them 95/6."
