Sachin Tendulkar

It's famously said that the Master Blaster holds nearly 50% of the records in ODI cricket. Sachin Tendulkar was a gifted cricketer who did wonders for India from a very young age. He debuted for the national side at a tender age of 16 years. He had supreme batting abilities which left even the best bowlers to lose sleep during his prime time.

He has featured in World Cups for India six times, most by a player alongside Pakistan's Javed Miandad. His successful 2003 world cup campaign with the bat is cherished by the fans even today. Sachin has given the cricket a new dimension in India and has inspired billions on his way to greatness. Playing for India from a very young age also put him into the World Cup squad of the team during 1992 world cup.

Sachin is the only cricketer to have won two Man of the Match awards before the age of 20 in World cups.
