5 records held by Indian batsmen in ODIs that might never be broken

#2 Most number of fours in ODIs - Held by Sachin Tendulkar

Tendulkar leads the second-placed Sanath Jayasuriya by 516 fours

Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman in history to score more than 2000 fours in ODI cricket.

In a colossal 463 ODIs, the Master Blaster scored 2016 fours. To put this achievement in some perspective, Tendulkar leads the second-placed Sanath Jayasuriya by 516 fours.

Among active players, the most number of fours is scored by Virat Kohli - who has 962 fours. It is highly unlikely that Kohli would score another 1055 fours to overhaul Tendulkar.

#1 Most runs in ODIs - Held by Sachin Tendulkar

In a career spanning almost a quarter of a century, Sachin Tendulkar scored a whopping 18426 runs in ODI’s.

In a career spanning almost a quarter of a century, Sachin Tendulkar scored a whopping 18426 runs in ODI’s. He leads the second-placed Kumar Sangakkara by 4192 runs.

If ever anybody has a bleak chance to overhaul this record of Tendulkar, then it is Indian batting dynamite, Virat Kohli.

Kohli has scored 10232 runs in 216 ODIs, but he is already over 30 years of age. It would be a race against time even for a batsman like Kohli, for, he has to score more than 8000 runs in the remaining 7-8 years of his career.

And, as for non-Indian batsmen, there is nobody even in the near vicinity, to go past this record of Tendulkar.

Even if, by chance, Kohli does go past Tendulkar, the record for the most runs in ODIs will still be held by an Indian batsman!

So, there you have it. These are the 5 major records in ODI cricket held by Indian batsmen that I think will never be broken.
