The Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar is widely considered as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of world cricket. In the previous posting (Cricket Batting Average), we looked at which batsmen in the history of the sport had the highest career batting average in Test Cricket. Donald Bradman was the clear star with an average of 99.94 and we were then introduced to a few players that had just managed to pass the 60 mark by a smidge. A good cricket batsmen would tend to have an average between 30 and 50! That posting touched on Sachin Tendulkar who has a relatively low career Test Cricket average of 56.25 at this time. The superstar Sachin Tendulkar more than makes up for this with his ODI and Test Cricket records though.

Sachin Tendulkar, who has picked up the nicknames over the years of Little Master, Tendlya and The God of Cricket certainly has impressive records. Starting with ODI highest career runs, it is Sachin Tendulkar that has the top score of 18,111 at this time; the two players below him both have in the region of 13,500 that shows just how great Sachin’s stat is there. The Test Cricket runs title at this time is also held by Sachin Tendulkar at 15,180 at this time; again, the chasing pack have some catching up to do here. Sachin Tendulkar holds many other cricket batting records and has picked up many awards over the years for the incredible talent that he has that has helped to push India forward as one of the leading teams in world cricket.
