5 players with most international runs before turning 30

#1 Sachin Tendulkar (India)

Tendulkar's records are still untouched!

Sachin Tendulkar is regarded as the God of Cricket. Tendulkar made his debut in 1989 when he was a 16-year-old boy. He failed to negotiate Pakistan's pacers in his debut Test but the Mumbaikar was destined to greatness. Little did we know that his words "Main Khelega'' will be etched in the memory of each Indian cricket fan.

Tendulkar was already a cricket icon in India before his 30th birthday. Before turning 30, Tendulkar had already scored 21030 runs in 474 innings. Since Kohli's arrival into the scene, comparisons between Kohli and Tendulkar have been a regular sight. There should be no comparison between the two as the two played in different eras.

The legend finished his career with 34347 international runs. He is the only player to feature in 200 Tests. Tendulkar scored 15921 runs in Tests and 18426 runs in ODIs. He will always be regarded as the finest Indian batsman to have graced the game.
