The God of Cricket — 100 international centuries and 34,000+ international runs across a 24-year career are records that stand alone.
Sachin Tendulkar is the most prolific run-scorer in cricket history. His 100 international centuries — 51 in Tests, 49 in ODIs — is a milestone no other player has reached, and his 15,921 Test runs remain the highest total ever. He was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 2014. His straight drive is considered by many former players to be the most beautiful shot in cricket history.
He scored his 100th international century against Bangladesh in March 2012 — a milestone no other player has reached.
