- Sachin Tendulkar – 14 centuries:
With a magnanimous figure of 14 centuries in 127 instances of successful run chases, unarguably the greatest cricketer of all time, Sachin Tendulkar stands at the second spot in this exclusive list of legends. Tendulkar, who was India’s only hope in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, has more than just impressive figures to his name. The fact that he has 45 scores in excess of 50 out of 127 successful chases in his career, just speaks about his volume as a match winner for India during pressure situations. Who can forget, Tendulkar’s blitzkrieg at Sharjah, where he tore apart the Australian bowling attack in 1998 to win India the tournament?
An average of 55.45 and a strike rate of 90.08 in an era that wasn’t too batting friendly is enough to depict the legend of Sachin Tendulkar.
