Sachin Tendulkar also holds the record for playing the most ODI World Cups and is also the top run scorer of the tournament. Tendulkar has scored 2278 runs from 45 matches and has slammed 6 hundreds. Tendulkar also held the record for most ODI hundreds, which was broken by Virat Kohli in the recently concluded ODI World Cup. Kohli is the biggest contender to match Sachin’s record of 100 international centuries.

Virat Kohli has scored a total of 80 centuries in international and looking at his fitness and form, he may not take much time to register Sachin Tendulkar’s ‘once in a lifetime’ record.
