Answer: Sachin Tendulkar
He holds the record of highest no of ODI centuries(49) and test centuries(51) making it a century of centuries :P which is the most by any batsman in international cricket.(I wonder, he might be thinking that, “I will score so many centuries that no batsman would ever break my record”…just kidding)
He has scored centuries against all cricketing nations that have permanent ODI status.
He was the first batsman to score a double century in ODIs, which he scored against South Africa at Gwalior in 2010.
He has been dismissed 18 times between the score of 90 and 99 and 17 times between the score of 80 and 89(just imagine if he would have converted these scores into yet another century then what kind of record it would have become)
Name the awards related to sports and this man has won it all: 1994: Arjuna Award recipient for achievements in cricket
1997: Tendulkar was one of the five cricketers selected as Wisden Cricketer of the Year
1997/98: India's highest sporting honour – Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna
1999: Padma Shri – India's fourth highest civilian award
2008: Padma Vibhushan – India's second highest civilian award
2010: ICC Cricketer of the year – Highest award in the ICC listings
2010: LG People's Choice Award
2014: Bharat Ratna - India's highest civilian honour
So this was just a small brief with respect to his statistical record and I hope you might have come to know already what kind of Batsman he was and why is he regarded as the “Legend Of Cricket”
