Tendulkar's statistic nothing special (7)

I believe the answer is:

average

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nothing special' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for average that I've seen before include "just like any other" , "Mean - typical" , "'Medium, middling (7)'" , "representative figure?" , "Mean - medium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
