#1 Sachin Tendulkar - 2278 Runs
This man hardly needs any introduction. Tendulkar is the most complete batsman ever, in the history of ODI cricket.
The master blaster featured in a staggering 6 World Cups for India between 1992 to 2011 and scored a mind-boggling 2278 runs at an average of 56.95 including 6 hundreds and 15 fifties.
Tendulkar is the only batsman in World Cup history to score more than 2000 runs in World Cups, the only batsman to score more than 200 fours, and the only batsman to score more than 10 fifties at the grandest stage in the sport.
The ethereal 98 that he scored against the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar in the 2003 World Cup is considered as one of the greatest innings ever played in World Cup history, and the magical 120 he scored against England in the 2011 edition defying age will be etched in the minds of cricket lovers forever.
