#1. Sachin Tendulkar-18426 runs
One-day cricket's biggest superstar, Sachin Tendulkar is the most prolific run-getter in this format. A technically sound batsman, Tendulkar was gifted with impeccable timing and sharp mind. Add to it his unparalleled hard-work and dedication for the art and there is no surprise that he ruled cricket for two decades.
The Indian batsman had mastery over all strokes and in the later stages, he added some innovative strokes as well. His twin masterpieces at Sharjah against the best bowling attack in the world in 1998 added to his legendary stature and he was also the first man to score a double-hundred in ODIs.
He has several records to his name including most hundreds, most fours, and most man-of-the-match awards.
