TIL Desk Sports/ When it came to World Cups, there was no better than the legend Sachin Tendulkar! The Little Master set the world alight with his brilliant batting displays in five of the six World Cups he appeared in. He holds the record for most runs in World Cups with a tally of 2,278 runs across six tournaments.
No one has so far matched his record tally of 673 runs in 11 games in 2003 — a record for the single edition of the World Cup. The master batsman also holds the record for most centuries (6) and most fifties (15) in World Cup history. One player who is likely to challenge Tendulkar’s World Cup records is Virat Kohli.
Kohli, who started off with a century on his World Cup debut (100 not out vs Bangladesh in 2011), would no doubt be keen to leave his mark on the world’s biggest stage. He hit a match-wining hundred against Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup, but wasn’t able to get past the half-century for the rest of the tournament.
