#1 Sachin Tendulkar - 145 Fifty plus scores
Topping the list is Sachin Tendulkar. Arguably the most complete batsman in the history of the game, Tendulkar owns just about every single batting record in ODI cricket, including that of the most runs(18426), most hundreds(49), most fifties(96) and most man of the match awards(62).
Tendulkar has played a whopping 463 ODIs for India has crossed the fifty run mark 145 times. His ability to conjure the straight drive with minimum fuss, made bowlers gape at him in awe, and his ability to flick the ball between mid-wicket and square leg with the precision of a surgeon made opposition captains scratch their heads in utter disbelief.
He was the torch bearer of the nation for almost a quarter of a century and carried the hopes of a billion Indians every time he strode out to bat.
RECORD: Innings: 452, Runs: 18426, Average: 44.83, 50’s: 96, 100’s: 49, 50+ Scores:145
