Tendulkar Career

The magnitude of Sachin Tendulkar's career is hard to understand. Over 23 years, He had so much experience that his team mates’ age is equal to his cricket career like in the case of Virat Kohli.

Tendulkar has played 763 innings for India and reached a century 100 times. He has reached a half century 260 times. He has remained undefeated 73 times. Which means that he has been dismissed less than 7 times for each century that he has scored. The next best record among batsmen who have made 10000 runs in their career is Mathew Hayden's.

Hayden was dismissed on average about 8 times for each century that he made. Only Jacques Kallis and Viv Richards reached 50 more frequently than Tendulkar has. His conversion rate of 50 to 100 is the best among these batsmen. Amazingly, of the 160 innings that he has finished after scoring between 50 and 99 runs, he has reached 90 28 times! The next most prolific scorer of 90s, Rahul Dravid, has done it 14 times. The Sachin has scored 50 centuries in both the format of the game which is very big milestone. We salute Sachin’s spirit for the game of gentlemen. Down below we are showing a table representing current leading scorers.
