Sachin Tendulkar – 185
And in the history of One Day Internationals, one and only, Sachin Tendulkar tops the chart having played the most number of consecutive matches.
The Master Blaster amazed the whole cricketing world in 185 consecutive matches between 25 April 1990 and 24 April 1998.
Tendulkar being a pioneer in the world of cricket, has been a huge wealth of cricketing asset to the nation where this game is like religion, and rightly considered as the ‘God of Cricket’ in India.
He has inspired so many young cricketers throughout the ages, not only in India, but also from all over the world. His integral part during India’s historical 2011 Cricket World Cup winning adventure will be remembered for long as India had the chance to lift the cup in his hometown, Mumbai.
Sachin is still an inspiration, as modern day cricket still pay tribute to him, be it on or off field.
