Sachin Tendulkar
India
India's Sachin Tendulkar holds the all-time record in Cricket One Day Internationals (ODIs) with 18,426 career runs. Nicknamed "The God of Cricket," Tendulkar debuted for India at just 16 years old in 1989 and served as the symbol of Indian cricket for 24 years. Across 463 matches he scored 49 centuries (100+ runs), and he was instrumental in India's 2011 World Cup triumph. His farewell match brought the entire nation to a standstill.
