The batting great has announced a retirement from the game's 50-over format after 23 years of playing one-day internationals.
Sachin has scored just 315 runs in 10 ODIs since the last World Cup. But Sachin has scored 18,426 runs in 463 one-dayers in a glorious career. His highest score in ODIs is 200 runs which came in Gwalior in 2010 against South Africa. In this format, Sachin scored 49 Centuries and 96 Fifties.
He made his debut as a 16-year-old against Pakistan on 18 December 1989. He played his last ODI in the Asia Cup on 18 March 2012, also against Pakistan.
His last ODI hundred came in March this year in the Asia Cup in Bangladesh, a feat which completed an incredible 100 international tons.
After scoring two hundred during India 's successful World Cup campaign he was stuck on 99 tons for quite a while. Tendulkar also gets his credit for a mammoth tally of 96 ODI 50s.
Despite the downturn in its form, it is unlikely that Tendulkar 's overall tally of runs will match anytime soon provided that the distant second-best in the list, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, with 13,704 runs under his belt, already retired from the game.
