Ranking India’s Top 10 ODI match-winners of all-time
Team India have been fortunate enough to have a good supply of such players for its ODI team.
3. Sachin Tendulkar
The number 3 spot in this list is taken up by the ‘God of Cricket’ as regarded by many, Sachin Tendulkar. If there was ever a list of the greatest players of all time in cricketing history, Sachin’s name would, without a hint of doubt, feature in it. Such was the level of cricket he played, and the Indian team was fortunate enough to enjoy his services for over 2 decades.
And, during that time, there was seldom a game where when Sachin came out to bat the stadium was not filled with the chants of his name. The holder of a plethora of records, the most iconic Indian ODI opener, and the first person on earth to score a double hundred in ODI cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, for the time that he was on the crease, he made the match a delight to watch.
And, the fans were fortunate enough to have watched him take the field on as many as 463 occasions in ODI matches, where he scored a total of 18,426 runs and took 154 wickets too. These numbers of his are yet to be matched, leave alone surpassing them and there are very few chances that anyone in the near future will ever be able to do it.
A master of the art of batting, Sachin Tendulkar was another player whose mere presence on the field brought a sense of reassurance about India’s chances to win the game. His legacy is beyond a doubt here to stay and his name that is etched at the top of every record book will be hard to remove for years to come.
