Sachin Tendulkar (India)
Need one even say anything about this legendary cricketer? Possibly the greatest batsman to have played the game, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar made his famous debut against Pakistan at Karachi in 1989.
Even as a young kid of 16 years and 205 days, facing up to the likes of Wasim Akram and Imran Khan, Sachin impressed one and all. What happened in the coming years is history. Sachin has smashed and created records in his career that shall perhaps never be broken.
In 200 Tests, he amassed 15,921 runs at an average of 53.78 with 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and a highest of 248 not out against Bangladesh. In ODIs, he was even greater as he cracked 18,423 runs at an average of 44.83 with 49 centuries and 96 half-centuries and a highest score of an unbeaten 200 against South Africa.
More than the records, though, Sachin’s impact was more about almost single-handedly carrying his team for more than a decade and getting the respect of the entire world for his humble nature.
