Most prolific batsmen for India across all three formats

#1 Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has the most celebrated cricketing career ever

If Rahul Dravid was all about working hard, Sachin Tendulkar was all about not being complacent.

There was talent, there was the belief, there was pressure, there were detractors, there were distractions, but there was Sachin Tendulkar standing amidst them with his willow in his hand, swatting away not only the deliveries but smacking every ounce of negativity.

And yet, he never was complacent, he was at it for 25 years, perhaps the most celebrated cricketing career ever, perhaps the most complete batsman ever, perhaps why people call him God!

In 664 matches, the maestro plundered 34,357 runs at an average of 48.52 runs. 100 centuries and 164 fifties glittered along.

Yes, cricket loved him and yes, cricket misses him!
