5 Greatest batsmen ever in the history of World Cups

#1 Sachin Tendulkar - India

Tendulkar holds just about every single batting record in World Cup cricket

This man hardly needs any introduction. Hailed as the ‘God Of Cricket’ for his staggering achievements, Tendulkar holds just about every single record in World Cup cricket, including that for the most runs, most hundreds, most fifties, to just name a few.

The ‘Little Master’ played 45 matches for India across 6 editions of the World Cup and scored a mammoth 2278 runs at an average of 56.95 including 6 hundreds and 15 fifties.

The blistering 98 that Tendulkar scored in the 2003 World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan is considered as one of the greatest knocks ever played in World Cup history, and the age-defying 120 he conjured in the 2011 World Cup against England will be etched in the minds of cricket lovers forever.
