Recently the buzz in Cricket is all about Tendulkar who has scored the first double hundred in ODI cricket.

That is a world record and I started wondering how many world records does Tendulkar own.

Here is a compiled list of all records the great man owns…

• Most runs scored by a batsman in Test career: 13,742 runs.
• Most runs scored by a batsman in ODI career: 17,598 runs.
• Most centuries scored by in Test career: 48 hundreds.
• Most centuries scored in a ODI career: 46 hundreds.
• Most fifties in a Test career: 55
• Most fifties in a ODI career: 94
• Most fours hit in a Test career: 1781
• Most fours hit in a ODI career: 1927
• Most nineties in a ODI career: 18 (Just imagine if he had converted even half of them to 100s!)
• Most man of match awards in ODI career: 61
• Most man of the series awards in ODI career: 15
• Highest individual score in a ODI match: 200*
• First batsman to score 200 in a ODI match.
• Highest number of international centuries: 94

He also is catching up with Sanath Jayasurya for most ODI appearances.
