Sachin Tendulkar flooded the record books thoughout a glittering cricket career

God on Earth – sounds exaggerated when stated, but if one glanced at Sachin Tendulkar’s numbers, the skepticism would be comfortably done away with.

A saga of grit, consistency and passion, the cricket career of this Little Master has flooded the record books, far and wide. In 2010, he became the first player in 40 years of One-Day International history to reach the milestone of 200 runs in an innings. Since then, however, the feat has been repeated on five different occasions.

We, now, take a look at his records which, due to their sheer distance from getting potentially rivalled, are, without a doubt, destined to last an eternity:

Most test matches played: 200

Most ODI runs in a calendar year: 1894 runs (1998)

Maximum runs in international cricket: 34357

Most centuries: 51 in Tests, 100 in International Cricket
