Sachin Tendulkar celebrates India's World Cup triumph in 2011. The master blaster scored two tons in the tourney to play his part to a tee.

Sachin's 100th international ton came against Bangladesh earlier this year. He is the only batsman to score 100 international tons.

Sachin was the first player to score a double hundred in ODIs. He scored 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior in 2010.

Sachin played one of the most exciting innings of his career against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup. He made a 75-ball 98 as India chased down 274 comfortably.

  Sachin scored hundreds everywhere. Here he scored a fabulous ton against England at Chester-le-Street in 2002.
  

  

  Australia legend Glenn McGrath is bandying words with Sachin during a match. He was surely Sachin's biggest competitor and tested the India batsman not a little.

  

  Sachin's last few ODIs were not fruitful for him. Here Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga celebrates his wicket in a tri-series match in Australia last year.

  

  At the age of 16, Sachin made his ODI debut against Pakistan in 1989. He overall played 463 ODIs and scored in excess of 18,000 runs with 49 tons and 96 fifties.
