1. Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is a name which needs no introduction, particularly in the cricketing world. Arguably the greatest cricketer of all time, Tendulkar holds most major batting records in the history of the game. Apart from that, he has also played the most matches in an international career, too.
The Master Blaster, as Sachin is fondly known, did have times in his career when he appeared to be struggling compared to his lofty standards. Probably the most prominent one among them was in 2006 when he recorded 267 runs in 12 innings and averaged under 25. Sachin Tendulkar's highest score in that year was 63, which was also his only fifty.
