Glenn McGrath of Australia and Sachin Tendulkar of India look on

It is no surprise that the world's most statistically accomplished batsman Sachin Tendulkar finds his name etched on to several batting laurels. Sachin was the chief tormentor of the most famed Australian bowling attack during his playing days. Even spin king Shane Warne once revealed that the thought of bowling to Sachin gave him nightmares.

Sachin holds the record for the most centuries against a single team in ODIs. He scored 9 centuries against Australia - an ODI record for the most tons versus a single opposition. His successor and current skipper Virat Kohli comes in next, with 8 centuries against Sri Lanka. Sachin also has scored 8 centuries against the Islanders.

As with the other feats, Sachin finds his name more than once in this list. He is accompanied by fellow countrymen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Virender Sehwag, to name a few. Sehwag, with 6 tons vs New Zealand, finds himself at number 6 in the list.
