Sachin Tendulkar, without a doubt, the best batsman of the modern era, and in all probability, second only to the Don when it comes to the title of the ‘Best Ever’. A man who single-handedly unites one billion-plus strong nation, Sachin Tendulkar is nothing short of a demigod. His records include a long, long list of ODI, Test, world, and other batting records, which if stacked up, would create a pile many, many times taller than the man’s 5-feet 5-inch frame. It is rightly said, Sachin does not chase records, records chase Sachin.
Tendulkar has amassed 18426 runs from 463 ODIs at an average of 44.83 and falls just one short of a half-century of hundreds in the 50 overs format. He also has 15921 runs on 200 Tests. A look at all the records Tendulkar holds:
