Sachin Tendulkar

The "Little Master" holds virtually every batting record in international cricket: 100 international centuries (51 in Tests, 49 in ODIs), 15,921 Test runs, 18,426 ODI runs, and 200 Test appearances. Tendulkar's 24-year international career from age 16 to 40 made him the most beloved cricketer in history and something approaching a deity in India.
