In terms of run-scoring, no one quite parallels Sachin Tendulkar. The Little Master sits comfortably atop the pile when it comes to both Test matches and ODIs, but it is in the shorter format of the game that he truly asserts his dominance.

Tendulkar played at number four for the majority of his Test career, but switched to opening in ODIs, where he unleashed his attacking side and put bowlers to the sword with great regularity. Between 1989 and 2012, Tendulkar played a whopping 463 ODI matches, scoring an astounding 18,426 runs at an average of 44.83. These include 49 centuries and 96 fifties as well as the first-ever double century scored in an ODI.
